Two sheriff’s deputies are dead and another two badly wounded after a gunman opened fire on them while they were investigating a possible robbery at a salvage yard in Virginia.
One of the surviving deputies had life-threatening injuries and the other was in serious condition, state police said.
Buchanan County Sheriff Ray Foster called the shooting ‘one of a kind’ for his department but declined to say anymore.
The owner of Roger’s Service Center in the southwestern Virginia community of Vansant told police that his business was being robbed on Sunday afternoon and he had blocked the suspect’s vehicle with his own.
