Ferncliff is in NW Roanoke which is a high crime area of the city.

Police have identified the person who was shot in northwest Roanoke late Thursday and later died after an attempted home robbery led to gunfire.
Officers were called to the 3000 block of Ferncliff Avenue just before midnight after reports multiple shots had been fired in the area. The police roped off two houses as well as the nearby Shell Station on Hershberger Road.
In a statement released today, department spokesman Scott Leamon said the subsequent investigation indicated a person inside one of the houses had used a gun in self-defense to shoot Earnest Neal Jr., 42, of Roanoke. Police said Neal was at least one person trying to get into the house at the time. Neal was later found at the gas station.
Police have not released the identity of the shooter. They did not say how many people were attempting entry into the house.
Neal died later at Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital.
Leamon said at this point in the investigation, authorities will not bring charges against the shooter.

If this makes the National News on CBS, NBC, CNN, or ABC, will you let me know about it?
If it doesn't, I won't be surprised. [:D]
