Authorities search for man with rifle, possibly firing from mountains
GRUNDY, Va. — Authorities were searching Sunday for a man armed with a rifle who shot four sheriff's deputies, one fatally, local media reported.
The shooting happened about 3 p.m. near the town of Grundy in the Devils Branch area, WCYB reported.
According to emergency dispatchers, a man began firing at deputies with a rifle from a mountainous area It's unclear exactly why the officers were at the location, WCYB reported.
WVVA.com said the suspect, believed armed with a rifle, was shooting at the officers from the mountains.
It would certainly appear that war has been declared on Law Officers across this country. This was a rural department just like many around this area. The impact of losing two deputies and two seriously wounded cant be ignored. The days of the nice police are dwindling away.Very sad.

ReplyDeleteI wonder why this took place. I fear for the same thing to happen on our streets too.
