Current broadcast reports say trooper in surgery. Hope that means they aren't dead after all.
A Virginia State Police spokesperson says that the suspect is dead and a trooper has life-threatening injuries after a shooting at the Greyhound station on North Boulevard on Thursday.
Spokeswoman Corinne Geller says a suspect opened fire on an officer at the station around 2:45 p.m. Two nearby troopers then shot the suspect, who died after being transported to VCU Medical Center. Two other people were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Other police sources said the trooper had died, but Geller did not confirm this.
If only we had more good guys with guns parading around Greyhound bus stations, things like this would never happen. That guy would have been ventilated ten times over before he could possibly have shot the policeman.Bob Juch wrote:The shooter fired at the officer when the officer asked to check his ID.
Well there were something like 10 police officers at the bus station for a training exercise; the officer who was shot was one of them.silverscreenselect wrote:If only we had more good guys with guns parading around Greyhound bus stations, things like this would never happen.
