Police: Truck driver arrested after Va. interstate shooting

CHESTERFIELD, Va. (AP) — Virginia State Police say a tractor-trailer driver from Georgia is in custody on charges related to a weekend shooting on Interstate 95.

State police said in a news release Monday that a preliminary investigation showed 26-year-old Terrelle M. Jackson of Atlanta cut off a Nissan pickup early Saturday morning in Chesterfield County. Police say Jackson then changed lanes, pulled up alongside the Nissan and fired at the vehicle.

State police say the Nissan driver, who wasn’t hurt, pulled off the interstate and reported the shooting. A bullet hole was found in the vehicle.

Police say Jackson was taken into custody without incident and charged with attempted malicious wounding, shooting from a vehicle and brandishing a firearm.

He was being held Monday at the Chesterfield County Jail. A defense attorney listed in court records couldn’t immediately be reached.

Trump announces a $22.5B makeover of Dulles airport that will eliminate the ‘people movers’

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced a $22.5 billion renovation of Washington Dulles International Airport that will end the use of the widely disliked “people movers,” the mobile lounges that have been used for decades to shuttle travelers to and from the main terminal. In place of the people movers, the airport will add a new U-shaped passenger train, a central walking tunnel, more moving walkways and new concourses. An above-ground parking garage closer to the main terminal with space for 32,000 vehicles is also in the offing, according to Trump and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. The airport makeover would add to a long list of renovation projects the Republican president is pursuing to leave a lasting mark on the Washington region after his term ends in January 2029. Among other undertakings, he is building a new White House ballroom and wants to build a towering triumphal arch near the Lincoln Memorial. But of all the construction projects Trump is pursuing, the renovations at Dulles could prove to be his most popular and benefit the greatest number of people. The airport, the area’s primary international airport, served roughly 29 million passengers over the past year, according to the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority.
