HAMPTON, Va. — On April 17, Mary the Tunnel Boring Machine emerged through the headwall at the Hampton end of the HRBT.

Exactly six months later, she's starting her next journey: creating the twin eastbound tunnel, headed toward Norfolk.

Crews are still working on installing fire suppression systems, jet ventilation and the roadway in the first tube.

SUFFOLK, Va. — On Oct. 18 at around 6:30 p.m., Suffolk police were called to the 100 block of Wellons Street after there had been reports of gunshots. After checking the area, police could not find a victim.

About 25 minutes later, a victim with a gunshot wound was reported at a local hospital, though the injury was reportedly non-life-threatening.

PORTSMOUTH, Va. — We continue to Verify claims made in local campaign advertisements. The first campaign ad in the Portsmouth mayoral race has aired where the vice mayor, Lisa Lucas-Burke, attacks the current mayor, Shannon Glover.

Are the claims in it true?

Let's Verify.

The ad, paid for and approved by Lisa Lucas-Burke, references a lawsuit filed by former city assessor, Patrick Dorris. The suit claims he was fired last year because "he refused to commit unlawful directives from [Mayor] Glover and [Councilman Bill] Moody to not tax the Elizabeth Manor Golf and Country Club.”

CHESAPEAKE, Va. — Virginia State Police (VSP) have arrested 19-year-old Jordan Kendrell Copeland in last week's shooting that stemmed from a road rage incident.

According to VSP, the shooting was the result of a road rage incident involving two vehicles traveling northbound on I-664 at the Pughsville Road off-ramp, around 5:19 p.m on Oct. 12. The victim of the shooting was a woman, VSP said, and sustained non-life-threatening injuries.

CHESAPEAKE, Va. — A local youth baseball team honored one of its player’s fathers at a tournament Saturday.

Virginia Beach firefighter Matthew Gallina’s son plays for the Tidewater Drillers U13 team. Gallina died in August from esophageal cancer, caused by occupational carcinogens.

The team wore matching fire department-inspired uniforms as part of the 'Field of Screams' tournament. Each team was able to choose a costume to wear on the field. Parents told 13News Now Saturday, they’re proud their sons chose to support the Gallina family.

The U.S. 2024 Election is about 2 weeks away now and I hope people realize that it doesn't really matter who wins because we're screwed no matter what happens.

Both major political parties have conspired with the rich and oligarchs and plutocrats to screw us all over the past 40+ years. Things just keep getting worse and worse and worse and worse no matter who has control.

Voting can't fix this. That's like trying to fix a flat tire by poking it with more holes. It's not going to work.

More @BuschGardensVA 2025 coaster track has been spotted in the Williamsburg area in route to the park! I imagine we'll be seeing a lot of these trucks in the weeks ahead! 😍

CHESAPEAKE, Va. (WAVY) — City council members in Chesapeake have been given the green light to construct what would be the tallest tower in Virginia. It is part of what will soon be a submarine cable manufacturing facility.

South Korean based LS Greenlink searched all across North America for the perfect site. They chose the area near Paradise Creek because of how close it is to deep water and adequate infrastructure.

At the Tuesday council meeting, company representatives and local leaders boasted the roughly $681 million investment for potentially bringing about 330 “high paying” jobs to the city.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (WAVY) — In Newport News and in Virginia Beach, when no one dials 911, police can rely on technology such as the ShotSpotter system, which alerts police to the sound and location of gunfire.

ShotSpotter has been around for decades but is relatively new in Virginia. It keys on vibration the same way scientists detect earthquakes. Two local police chiefs swear by it, but some cities have dropped it.

Newport News Police Chief Steve Drew would be the first to let you know that his city is on track for far fewer shootings this year compared with last year. But in just a 10-day span last month, the city’s ShotSpotter system got horribly busy.

PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) — In a twist to the saga surrounding a houseboat that was beached at Portsmouth City Park, a source confirmed that its operator, Willie Gray, has been taken into custody by Virginia Marine Police for outstanding warrants and probation violations, primarily in Virginia Beach and Suffolk.

10 On Your Side had learned previously from law enforcement that the name of the operator of the Troy was Willie Brown. However, that turned out to be an alias, and Gray, indeed, is his real last name, as confirmed by his family.
