Several law enforcement officers were injured in a shooting in southern Virginia on Wednesday, according to local officials. Representative John McGuire, who represents Virginia’s 5th congressional district, confirmed the incident in Pittsylvania County and expressed his support for the wounded deputies and their families in a post on X.
“We are closely following the situation and keeping everyone affected in our hearts during this difficult time,” McGuire wrote.
Pittsylvania County lies along Virginia’s southern border with North Carolina, about 158 km northwest of Raleigh, North Carolina. Further details about the number of victims, their conditions, and the circumstances of the shooting were not immediately available.
