Upon arriving, deputies discovered two individuals, Thomas Tyrone “Tomcat” Davis, 38, was fatally shot and a second victim was also shot and is reported to be in critical condition and on life support at an undisclosed hospital.

Witnesses said they saw a white Crown Victoria drive up to the home and a man exited the vehicle and entered the house.

I would like to say I knew Tomcat.He was always happy and outgoing.I never got to talk to Tomcat about his relationship with Jesus.I pray he was saved.If he was and I think he was.We can rejoice.I would like to tell the families of both victims,I fill your pain I lost a daughter a little over a year ago she was only 24.But God has showed me she is in Heaven doing well.My prayers go out to everyone that is hurting.The bible tells me we will all be together soon.

I for one never make comments on here but I feel for the family members and felt I needed to say that. I don't think they sould have to even be seeing these bad comments about Tom Cat and Jen and I am so very sorry. I knew of this man and of Jen and I am just shocked that someone can judge people the way they do, I just can't believe it. I agree with his family member 100% that's only for God to do,he's the only man that walked on water, and everyone else falls short of the glory of God.And to these family members of them both, I pray for you all and just know you'll see them again one sweet Day,till then may they both R.I.P

Some people are priceless. Lance, I brought up race to point out what's going on in the black community. The violence that's taken place. Blacks are killing Blacks at an alarming rate, because a white american female was also killed, doesn't mean it wasn't black on black. Lance, I think you are wrong...what other race is killing one another at this rate. Race has everything to do with it. Look at the last 10 people killed in the Roanake Valley area and tell me race has nothing to do with it. I meant no disrespect to the families invovled.

As editor, I don't think race matters in this. Please keep your comments on your remembrances of the victims or shed some light on why you think this happened. Thank you.

Quoting T-ONE:
This is a blog...which is for blogging(commen ts included)some seems to think they have the right to come on here and comment and others can't. My advise to family members and friends is don't come on this blog during a time of mourning...because everyone has an opinion, whether you like it or not. It's a shame what happen, but it did happen and people wanna know, why? I don't even know these people, but I can tell you what race they are and what race the shooter is.

Ok T-one since youre so smart what race are they?? As you yourself stated you don't know them so how coul you possibly know the races of the people involve just from the story? Be serious
