Virginia State Trooper Chad Dermyer dies, suspect also killed among four people shot at Richmond, Va., Greyhound bus station

A Virginia state trooper has died and the the man who shot him was also killed after a gunfight inside a Richmond Greyhound bus station, according to police.

A group of troopers was inside the depot around 2:45 p.m. when a man walked up and shot one of the troopers, state police spokeswoman Corrinne Geller said. The other two troopers returned fire, killing the suspect.

Two other bystanders were shot but are expected to survive, Geller said.

The wounded trooper was taken to the hospital, where he later died. He's been identified as Trooper Chad Dermyer. Earlier reports indicated two troopers had been shot, including one fatally, among six people shot. Authorities later revised the total to four.

Dermyer had joined the force in 2014.

The first shot fired was "directly at the trooper," Geller said. That trooper suffered life-threatening injuries, she said. The gunman has not yet been identified.

Geller would not confirm why troopers were at the bus depot, though WWBT-TV reported that state police were conducting a drug training exercise at the station Thursday when the suspect walked up to a trooper and shot him in the chest. Other troopers were able to return fire, killing the gunman.
