Lansdowne residents hold march after recent attack



LANSDOWNE, Va. (AP) -- About 200 Lansdowne residents have held an
early morning march to the place where one resident was killed and
another was attacked a week ago.
Beverly Bradford, a resident who organized the Sunday march,
says participants want show that they're not intimidated by the
violence.
Fifty-seven-year-old William Bennett was found dead along
Riverside Drive near Rocky Creek Drive on March 22. His wife,
55-year-old Cynthia Bennett, was discovered severely injured across
the roadway. The couple had suffered blunt force trauma.
Police say Cynthia Bennett remains in critical condition and is
unable to talk about what happened. Authorities say they continue
to look for as many as three assailants.
Bradford says the march was held at 5:30 a.m., because that's
when the Bennetts were "struggling for their lives" a week ago.
