Man wounded in Fredericksburg shooting charged with murder

The police in Fredericksburg, Virginia, say they’ve found the man who shot and killed another man on Thursday afternoon — it was the man who was wounded in the shooting.

The police said in a statement that Arturo Barnes, 28, of Fredericksburg, shot and killed Tyriek Powell on Fall Hill Avenue Thursday afternoon.

At the time, they said Powell and another person were wounded, and that a witness told them the gunman had run away; the police said they were looking for the suspect, whom they considered armed and dangerous.

On Friday afternoon, they said that Barnes — who was wounded in the shooting — had shot and killed Powell, and that the two men had in fact exchanged gunfire.

Barnes has been charged with second-degree murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, shooting a firearm in a public place and other charges.

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.
