RICHMOND, VA (WWBT) -
Investigators are getting a better idea of what might have killed four bald eagles in Virginia.
One of the wildlife center's interns found metal fragments inside the birds from brand new x-ray images.
Wildlife officials won't release the official cause of death just yet, but they say the eagles may have died from eating bullet fragments which may have contributed to lead poisoning.
