<h5>The killer who shot Virginia State Police Trooper Chad P. Dermyer <span data-term="goog_942955028">Thursday</span> (March 31) has been identified as James Brown III, 34, of Aurora, Ill.</h5>
<h5>Trooper Dermyer is the 62nd Virginia State Police Trooper to be killed in the line of duty during the Department&#8217;s 84-year history. In honor of Trooper Dermyer, his patrol car is currently on display in front of the Virginia State Police Administrative Headquarters in North Chesterfield County.</h5>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">RICHMOND, Va. – The Virginia State Police report that a Virginia State Police trooper has died as a result of his injuries after being shot March 31, 2016, at the Greyhound Bus station in the City of Richmond.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">At approximately 2:40 p.m., Virginia State Police Trooper Chad P. Dermyer approached a male subject just inside the front doors of the bus station. During talking with the male subject, the male pulled out a handgun and shot the trooper multiple times. As the male subject continued firing his weapon, two state troopers, who were nearby, returned fire. The male suspect then moved into the terminal’s restaurant.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The shooter continued to be combative as police took him into custody and EMS crews tried to render aid to him. He was transported to VCU Medical Center, where he died later Thursday afternoon. His remains were transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for autopsy and examination. State police have confirmed the male subject’s identification but are still in the process of notifying his next of kin. His name will not be released until next of kin is formally notified.

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">No other law enforcement personnel or civilians were injured in the shooting.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Trooper Dermyer was among approximately a dozen state police troopers participating in a specialized </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">training on criminal interdiction practices. They had completed the classroom instruction and were conducting field practicals at the time the shooting occurred. Trooper Dermyer’s encounter with the male subject was part of the training.
