Roanoke County warns against aiding on Blue Ridge Parkway

Roanoke County Sheriff's Department cautioned motorists on the Blue Ridge Parkway not to stop for anyone who seems injured after Deputy R. F. Cook was fired upon near the parkway at about 4 am. The incident occurred as a man appeared injured, fled, and two shots hit Cook's cruiser. The deputy had been fired on previously in the same area. The sheriff suspects an ambush robbery attempt targeting good samaritans.
