Two campus police officers who were shot today at Bridgewater College in Virginia are dead, police reported.
NewsNation affiliate WRIC obtained an official email which identifies the victims as John Painter, a campus police officer, and J.J. Jefferson, a campus safety officer. The letter said the two were close friends, and Jefferson was Painter’s best man in his wedding.
One person is in police custody.
“The sadness is palpable. Words are not adequate, not nearly so, to express the grief, sadness, fear and —justifiably — the anger we all feel,” Bridgewater President David Bushman wrote in the letter.
