RICHMOND, Va. — A Virginia State trooper who was shot when a suspect opened fire at a Greyhound bus station on Thursday afternoon has died, WTVR reported.
Virginia State Police spokeswoman Corinne Geller said four people, including the suspect, were shot when troopers were called to the bus station.
Geller said a trooper, who was already at the station, met a man just inside the entrance. She said that trooper was talking to the suspect when he pulled out a gun and shot the trooper.
Geller said two nearby troopers returned fire on the suspect.
A man who stopped for a smoke break before going into the bus station said he heard at least five to ten shots fired.
