One dead in officer-involved shooting on East Little Creek Road: NPD
A Norfolk police officer did a routine traffic stop around 9:40 p.m. in the 1800 block of East Little Creek Road, according to Norfolk Police Chief Mark Talbot. The officer tried to stop the car and the driver pulled into the lot of a shopping center.
The officer found out that the driver had misdemeanor warrants and ordered the driver to get out of the car multiple times, but they refused, Talbot said. The suspect drove away and the officer was dragged along with the car, then the driver reversed and continued to drag the officer when the officer shot into the car.
The suspect was given aid at the scene and later taken to a hospital, where the person died of their injuries, Talbot said. The officer was not severely injured. All officers involved will remain on administrative duty pending the outcome of the ongoing investigation by Virginia State Police, Norfolk Police Department said in a statement.
