killed during an altercation with a suspect who he pursued to
the Elk River area sometime after midnight, Jones said.
The suspect, whose identity has yet to be released, was involved
in an altercation with police earlier Saturday evening and had
run from them, he
The suspect’s car was chased from inside Charleston to the Elk
River area, where he pulled over in a gravel area, Jones said.
There he started ramming police cars, at which point officers
fired on the vehicle, Jones said.
Both the suspect and Patrolman Jones were killed, the mayor
said. Jones was wearing his bullet-proof vest and was shot just
above the vest, the mayor said. “He was a young man in his 20s,
with a young wife,” Jones said. “About half the police
department showed up last night, between 3 and 6 in the morning,
at headquarters. His wife and parents were there too. Their son
went to work and didn’t make it back.”
Patrolman Jones was a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and had served
with the Charleston Police Department for three years. He is
survived by his wife. |
