Old Dominion Briefs in Hampton and Lexington
A 20 year old man and a 16 year old juvenile were accused of trying to kill a man during a quarrel in a car on Interstate 64 in Hampton. Andre Michael Orie, 18, was shot twice in the back and once in the head. Melvin Hardy, 20, pulled a pistol and shot Orie. The suspects were stopped by police around 2:30 a.m. Orie was in a Hampton hospital in surgery. Hardy and the juvenile fled after attempting to dump Orie’s body. In Lexington, Va Senator Barry Goldwater urged renewal of the military draft and universal training for 18 year olds. He criticized Reagan for canceling the grain embargo and urged strong U S military power. A UVA analyst noted shifts in science funding under the Reagan budget.
