I heard about this at work this morning. Supposedly it was a 24 year old who had been cover driving for just a few weeks. He stopped because he thought the guy was waiting on a package.
UPDATE @ 9:30 p.m.
ELIZABETH, W.Va. (AP) -- A WVSP spokesman says a trooper fatally shot an armed man outside of a detachment in Wirt County.
Sgt. Michael Baylous says the trooper was responding to a report of shots fired late Wednesday afternoon at the Elizabeth detachment from outside the empty building. As the trooper arrived, he was confronted by a man with a rifle and responded by shooting the man.
The man, who wasn't immediately identified, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Baylous says the man had apparently forced a UPS driver in Ritchie County to take him to the Elizabeth detachment. The man allegedly got out of the delivery truck, walked across the parking lot and opened fire on the detachment. The UPS driver wasn't injured.
