Here are the top stories in Norfolk today:

1. Some Norfolk parents are frustrated and demanding answers after their children's bus was hours late dropping them off at home earlier this week. Parents said this past Tuesday their child's bus was two and a half hours late getting home. The bus has also been over an hour late two other times earlier this year. (13newsnow.com WVEC)
2. A Norfolk man was sentenced to more than 20 years in prison on charges of conspiring to distribute fentanyl and bribing a public official. 31-year-old Dontarius Leshay Boone received multiple packages of fentanyl pills where he would then distribute the pills to at least three other people for further sale and distribution. After his arrest, Boone attempted to bribe a federal official to form a "partnership" in exchange for $20,000. Boone's exact sentence was 262 months in prison, roughly 21 years. (wtkr.com)
3. After her fourth tour in Iraq, Navy veteran Angela Tilley was at a low point. She said pottery helped pull her out of that dark place, so she recently opened a studio: All Hands Pottery in Norfolk. (13newsnow.com WVEC)
4. The coworkers of a Norfolk double murder-suicide victim from a shooting in September speak out about the warning signs of domestic violence. (WAVY.com)
