Roanoke, VA
Officer involved shooting last night. Not sure what the situation was and suspect was transported to Carilion Roanoke Memorial.
Edited...he apparently was holding his estranged girlfriend at knife point and had also been released by Roanoke City Jail by accident. The knife didn't work too well against guns and he later died at the hospital.
Here's an article from Newschannel 10.....
A man is dead and a woman wounded after a hostage incident ends in gunfire.
Roanoke Police responded at 3:38 AM this morning to a breaking and entering on Delaware Ave in which a woman was being attacked. Dispatchers advised officers at the scene that the woman had already been wounded, suffering a cut to her throat.
Police found Sharif Al-Malik, aka Samuel Johnson, holding the woman hostage with a knife to her throat. When Al-Malik attempted to pull the woman upstairs, an officer shot him. Al-Malik, age 43, was pronounced dead at Carilion Roanoke Memorial shortly afterward.
Al-Malik's family says the woman, Tasha Jennings, was Al-Malik's long time on-again off-again girlfriend.
The state medical examiner said Al-Malik died of a gunshot wound to the chest.
The officer is on leave pending an investigation of the shooting, which is common practice whenever an officer fires his weapon.
The Roanoke City Sheriff's Office said that Al-Malik had been released by mistake on November 2. He was originally committed on November 1 on charges including malicious wounding, escape, sodomy, and larceny. The charges in Circuit Court were resolved, and the court ordered his release. Even though he still faced charges in General District Court, the Roanoke City Sheriff's Office released him on November 2nd.
The Sheriff's Office says they became aware of their error when Al-Malik did not appear in General District Court. Court records show he was scheduled to appear on Monday, December 3rd. According to their press release, the Sheriff's Office then took "immediate measures" to find him.
Part of those measures included patrols through Al-Malik's neighborhood, asking neighbors to tell sheriff's deputies if they spot him, and even staking out the very same home where he was shot.
Al-Malik's family, speaking exclusively to 10 On Your Side, say the very same woman he is accused of taking hostage with a knife helped hide him for weeks after he was accidentally set free.
"That was [the sheriff's office] fault," said Al-Malik's youngest sister, Lisa Dawson.
Dawson said the family knew Al-Malik was on the run but did not want to turn him in.
"If you [were] looking at the time [in prison] he was looking at, and knowing what his background was, you wouldn't turn yourself in," Dawson said.
The family said they suspected Al-Malik was staying with Jennings but did not know for sure.
Al-Malik's criminal rap sheet includes convictions for burglary, larceny, writing a threatening letter, and his latest brush with the law included an attempted malicious wounding charge against Jennings.
He was scheduled to appear in court on the charge on January 8th.
Dawson said Al-Malik thought he might be facing up to 15 years in prison if convicted on his latest charge.
Roanoke police said they are continuing to investigate the case.
Roanoke city sheriff Octavia Johnson said her office was investigating as well.
Johnson blamed human error with paperwork as the cause for releasing Al-Malik in the first place.
Johnson said the department is "setting measures into place" to make sure no inmate is accidentally released in the same manner again.
Johnson said a third supervisor will now have to sign off on each inmate's release.

CBurg Rescue: 451.6250 ctcss 88.5
Lifeguard Roanoke: 155.385 ctcss 118.8
edit:
LG11 is grounded due to maintenance so they are getting in LG10 with an ETA of 18min
they canceled LG10 and are headed to MRH, or maybe NRVMC, they couldn't agree on which

The fire burning on Poor Mountain has a lot more room to grow.
The Virginia Department of Forestry says the fire doubled in size again overnight, and they expect it to get to 890 acres if their containment lines hold.
Those containment lines are not fully finished, due to the steep terrain and manpower issues.

Roanoke HazMat
I know this is late, but I was wondering if anyone knows what the railroad hazmat incident in Roanoke yesterday morning (9/23) was all about. I did not see media coverage today.

I know there was a train derailment afew days ago in Covington, That required a hazmat team.... One of the news stations had a story about it but I cant seem to find it.

The Virginian-Review newspaper in Covington had an article on the derailment in the Clifton Forge Yard on 9/20. Apparently the tank car was carrying rosin that was struck by another car that derailed. The product was reported to be non-hazzardous and posed no threat to humans. No one was injured in the incident. The incident occurred on 9/19. The cargo was destined for Covington.
