What development done wrong looks like

Attached: 1 image Latest severe weather outlook for tomorrow afternoon/evening; risk has been upgraded to moderate for #RVA to Tappahannock and southwest to Farmville, South Boston, Emporia, and Raleigh/Durham. Slight risk for Baltimore, D.C., Charlottesville, Staunton/Lexington, Roanoke, Virginia Beach, Salisbury. And only a marginal risk west of I-81. Again, the timing is going to be primarily between 5 and 8pm in central and eastern Virginia, 2 to 4pm west of 95. Large hail, wind gusts to 70 mph, and wouldn't be shocked if we had a weak tornado or two try to spin up. #virginia #maryland #vawx #mdwx

The mother of a 6-year-old Virginia boy who shot and wounded his teacher in Virginia has pleaded guilty to a federal charge of using marijuana while possessing a firearm. It’s a crime under federal law that’s facing increasing scrutiny as more states legalize the drug. Deja Taylor is accused of lying about her marijuana use on a form when she bought the gun, which her son later used to shoot Abby Zwerner in her classroom in Newport News. The first-grade teacher was seriously wounded and has endured multiple surgeries. Taylor’s attorneys agreed to a negotiated plea agreement with prosecutors that calls for a sentence of 18 months to 24 months in prison. Sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 18.
