A Virginia state trooper died after being shot multiple times Thursday at a Greyhound bus station in Richmond, Virginia.
Police Trooper Chad Dermyer, 37, was shot by a man who opened fire near the entrance to the bus station while troopers were finishing a training exercise, NBC News reports. He died later in the hospital. The suspected gunman died when two other troopers returned fire, a state police spokeswoman said, and two civilians were also injured during the shooting.
