HAMLIN, W.Va. (AP) — A West Virginia state trooper fatally shot a man who was stabbing another trooper following a traffic stop, authorities said.
Three state troopers conducted the stop Wednesday in Lincoln County, and the driver, Harman Davis, 46, fled on foot into woods, state police said in a statement.
Trooper T.C. Hurley located Davis, and a struggle ensued. Davis used a knife to stab Hurley multiple times, the statement said. Trooper R.S. Clagg witnessed the attack and fired his weapon, striking and killing Davis, the statement said.
