A West Virginia state trooper was shot dead, another was critically wounded while the suspect they confronted in a traffic stop was also killed in back-to-back exchanges of gunfire near Charleston on Tuesday night, authorities said.
Details of the two shootouts, which occurred roughly an hour apart along Interstate 79 in Clay County, remained sketchy. But the deadly chain of events unfolded after a pair of state police officers pulled over a suspect near Wallback, a community about 30 miles northeast of Charleston, and a gunfight ensued, state police Captain Bill Scott said.
