Two Police Officers in West Virginia are recovering tonight after being shot during a traffic stop. They say its all part of a bizarre and deadly crime spree by a fatherson duo. This all began with the man allegedly stealing an s. U. V. In texas. They then drove to North Carolina where they killed a husband and wife. They set the house on fire and took the car. The suspects got pulled over near lewisburg, West Virginia where they began a shootout with police. Scott has been monitoring this and joining us now from our satellite center. This is a really bizarre story, scott. Absolutely, leon. And i just spoke with police in West Virginia who say theyre checking with agencies all across the southeast now to see if these two committed even more crimes they dont know about yet. In fact, the sheriff in North Carolina says if it were not for police noticing the stolen car and stopping them who knows how long or how deadly this crime spree could have been. When police first got the call for this house fire in tiny oxford North Carolina they had no clue what they would quickly uncover. They say a father and son from texas who arrived in a stolen s. U. V. Broke in set it on fire and left with the owners. 73yearold jerome and 62yearold Dora Faulkner taking their pickup truck, too. Theres no telling from the investigation at this point what were going to find. Hours later, it was police in lewisburg, West Virginia near the greenbriar who came across the men pulling one of them over and realizing he was in a stolen car. The other suspect pulled over two almost instantly, a shootout. They asked for identification. And he pulls the gun out of his waistband and starts shooting. They retreated for cover and the lieutenant returned fire. The officers were grazed one in the neck and one in the face but both also took direct shots to the body. The body armor those two officers were wearing is a strong possibility will save both of their lives. I knew something happened besides an accident so i counted at least 40 state police. They say the suspects a father and son edward and Eric Campbell took off but were eventually caught. In the back of the pickup under a mattress the faulkners bodies. Police say they had been killed sometime after they were abducted. The community at this point is in shock. This kind of thing does not happen here. Police believe as of now that that North Carolina couple targeted completely at random. Both wounded Police Officers had minor surgery and they are doing ok. Could be released today. The older suspect, the father Edward Campbell was shot in that exchange of gunfire. He will survive. He was also by the way, out on bond at the time of this incident for aggravated assault. Alisyn . What a story. Thank you very much, scott. And developing right now the Obama Administration has announced some new sanctions on North Carolina in response to last months cyber attack on sony. The sanctions target North Carolinas intelligence agency. A state run Mining Corporation and an arms dealer. 10 people working for those entities or the government also face sanctions. Many of those individuals work outside of north korea. President obama authorized the sanctions by executive order. And now it is day six and the latest developments in the Recovery Efforts of airasia flight 8501. Search teams have made their greatest progress to date. Narrowing those search efforts as the intesht community and the United States step into help. Heres the latest on whats now been recovered from the crash. Recovery teams are making progress in the search for airasia 8501. Tripling the number of bodies recovered bringing the total now to 30. The fact that theyre finding more bodies more pieces of wreckage tells us theyre really honing in. Its a massive effort. 17 aircraft and 29 ships from several countries including the u. S. Navy. Covering a wide swath of the search area, the u. S. S. Sampson, hightech vessel outfitted with topoftheline equipment. The director of the indonesias search and rescue agency says the American Teams doubled their expectations. And now the agency says theyre focusing their efforts on an area of just 1500 square nautical miles. Shrinking the search area to just 1 10th of yesterdays size. And as search teams believe that they are honing in on the location of the plane, each clue brings more questions than answers. The fact that people didnt have life preservers means it wasnt a controlled ditching and the fact that we have people strapped to their seats means it wasnt a high speed impact but just exactly what it was and whether the airplane broke up in flight before it hit the water is still a big puzzle. Three more victims have been identified. They include an 11yearold boy, a College Student and a flight attendant. In new york lona zack abc 7 news. Investigators in italy are searching a burned out ferry for more victims of a deadly fire. That ship arrived in port this morning.

In this 7 on your side consumer alert, Autria Godfrey said looks can be deceiving in this colorado case. These forms claiming to be from the colorado Corporate Compliance office look authentic at least to scott harris. Like any Small Business, i get an awful lot of these from the state and federal government and i thought i really didnt give any thought. Harris runs a small consulting firm. They had information about the name of the company, the date we incorporated you know, other details like that. But the whole thing is a scam thats actually gaining ground and specifically targeting people starting their own businesses. Asking for some kind of periodic report. And what theyre offering is a service to provide documents to file with the state that arent even really required. In this case harris never sent the fee in but hundreds of others did. Inspectors say if you own a Small Business do your homework. Its not a compliance issue that youre familiar with. Theres certainly going to be a phone number or an email address that you can contact to ensure that it is something. Most states have very helpful websites. You can look that up. And you can call them to see if its a legitimate mailing. Certainly in the future, you know just pay closer attention to them. And some final advice from officials. Always check with you states attorney general or your local Business Bureau to see if the mailing youve received is legit. Autria godfrey, abc 7 news. A million Powerball Ticket was sold locally.

Can you believe that . Oh and now that weve actually arrived at 2015 did everything come true in Steven Spielbergs classic film . Heres a look. Where . Back to the future. In 1989 when back to the future 2 was released we got a glimpse into how hollywood pictured our future. There have been a few changes. The future is now. Doc brown and marty mcfly used a modified delorean to time travel to 2015. The car was a bust. On this the first day of 2015 social media themes were packed with comparing and contrasting the movie with reality. When Robert Demarcus did the movie, he didnt want to be scientifically correct. He wanted to have fun with it. Alvin jones, host of planet vehicle on wjla 7. 2 me tv said we are indeed obsessed with looking ahead. I think back to the future gave people the feel of being a kid and the possibilities. If you take a close look at the movie, we dont have soaring cars automated gas stations or a skateboard that can do all the things that hover board did on the silver screen. People, though sure are trying to make a hoverboard for mainstream consumers and those selflacing shoes in the movie, nike says theyre in the works as well. But we do have jumbotrons, large flat screen tvs and 3d movie screens. Who would have imagined . Throw a couple of things that did come to fruition and something that didnt pan out. That breaking news coming out of mexico where we have just learned about an hour ago that a missing virginia man has been found dead. Hari simran hadnt been seen or heard from since tuesday when he went for a hike in the mountains about an hour south of mexico city. Northern Virginia Bureau chief Jeff Goldberg is outside of his yoga studio with reaction tonight. Jeff . Alison in the last 45 minutes, we spoke with a close friend of hari simran who read us a statement from the family. Family saying that simran was found dead with a fatal injury to the head that he had fallen during that hike. That he died instantly and did not suffer. Mexican Officials Saying his body was found in a ravine in a mountainous area near the town where he was staying. Take a look. This is the last picture seen of hari simran. It was sent to his wife. It was a selfie he had taken during that hike one afternoon of december 30th. He later sent a text message to her saying he was running late and another text to a friend saying he was lost. That was the last anyone had heard from him. Simran and his wife traveled to a yoga retreat last friday in tepoztllan, hour south of mexico city. On tuesday, he went on that hike in mountains wearing a tshirt and shortsz carrying only a liter of water some trail mix and a knife. That was very rugged territory. His body was found this afternoon. He was always an angel. He was an individual that always inspired everybody. He gave so much love and just true essence of what a real human being should be. And hes very selfless and my hope is that one day, i can just be 1 10th of who he is. Hes an amazing human being. Also reading that statement from the family in which they expressed obviously a great deal of sadness but also a great deal of gratitude for those who took part in this search effort which involved more than 150 people and both the mexican and United States government obviously, a great deal of sadness and shock here at the yoga studio here in sterling. Coming up at 7 00 tonight, theres going to be a Prayer Service in honor of hari simran. Abc 7s richard reid will have that story for you tonight at 11 00 and much more on this very sad situation.
