PLEASE, WHO SHOT MR. BURNS?

Who shot Mr. Burns? That's the question. On Sunday's season finale

of ``The Simpsons,'' Mr. Burns, who owns the city's nuclear power

plant and has earned the wrath of virtually every resident of

Springfield, was gunned down. With a town full of suspects, who is

responsible? Now chalk outlines, like this one in the 100 block of

W. Brambleton Ave. in downtown Norfolk, are popping up on sidewalks.

The local Fox affiliate, WTVZ Channel 33, is issuing weak denials -

but several emplpoyees have chalk on their hands.
