Wow, that was a freak accident. RIP Brother
R.I.P. prayers for the family.
He will be in our prayers
My gosh... I got the same degree in 2002, I could have had classes with him. What a horrible, insanely freak accident.Quote:
He earned a bachelor’s degree in geography from Mary Washington College
I talked to a friend of mine that worked with this Trooper and he said that they didnt know at first where the gunshot came from. He said that at first everyone there thought it was a tire blow out. With out a doubt the weirdest line of duty death I have heard of.
What kind of "firearm" was it? I'm assuming he had his vest on.
R.I.P....prayers for the family:rain:
According to a VSP officer on another site it was a high power rifle and the bullet struck him in the armpit.Quote:
