A West Virginia man is dead after he shot a State Trooper and maintained an hours-long standoff, according to reports.
The suspect fired several more times from the second-story window of the home. Officers returned fire and flew a drone over the scene. The drone helped officers see that the suspect had died in the exchange. It was not immediately clear whether he had taken his own life.
The suspect has not been identified. The wonded trooper, Cpl. Z. S. Conner, was in good condition at Berkeley Medical Center, according to authorities.Peter Aitken is a New York born-and-raised reporter with a focus on national and global news.
