Authorities in Botetourt County this morning discovered the body of a well-known Democratic operative and U.S. Senate aide along U.S. 220, dead from an apparent gunshot wound.
The body of Frederick W. Hutchins Jr., 26, of Roanoke was found shortly after 7 a.m. along southbound U.S. 220 by a Botetourt County deputy who had stopped to check on a vehicle parked on the highway's shoulder, according to the sheriff's office.
Hutchins was an aide to U.S. Senator Jim Webb, D-Va.
Hutchins had been shot in the head, and a gun was found beneath his body, Sheriff Ronnie Sprinkle said. The sheriff added that the official cause of death would be determined by the state medical examiner.

Obamacide?
You know, an aid who knows too much could really derail any plans one might have to be vice pres or a member of a cabinet.....just sayin’.
He was tangled in a deadly Web.
Warning?
How do you become a “well known Democratic operative” at the tender age of 26?
Congrats, I think that’s a conspirisy theory record...
Only one post in before the accusations......
Geez
Is this the Webb staffer who once tried to take a gun into the US Capitol or the Senate offices or somewhere? Wasn’t it determined that gun was registered to Webb?
I thought the same thing. Anyhow, prayers for this guy and his family.
That’s terrible. It sounds like it might have been suicide. Prayers for his family.
Naaahhhh.Webb is more than slimey enough to be a first rank Osama supporter.And one would assume his aides are too.
Dang...too bad, prayers for his family. I know that Jim Webb is a Dem and wrong on a lot of things but he’s a highly decorated Marine veteran of Vietnam and was Reagan’s Secretary of the Navy. He’s also been right about some things such as the 2nd Amendment and immigration. I believe his aide probably followed along the same lines and, if there’s such a thing as a conservative Democrat the aide probably was one.
That’s why I was thinking.
How far away from Fort Marcy Park?
Turns out that was a different aide. The guy’s name is Phillip Thompson.
Don’t say “No” so quickly... How is this supposed to become a viral Internet smear ... ? :)
I was thinking an Edwardscide. After all, Hitlerary can get to him now.
Hmmmmm, did her Thighness tip off the reporters as to Edwards romantic interests ?
So is Murtha.
and was Reagan’s Secretary of the Navy.
And Ron Reagan was President Reagan's son.
