WEST VIRGINIA....
West Virginia State Police are continuing to investigate in an attempt to determine the motive that led to a trooper in Wirt County fatally shooting 45 year old Joseph Dennis Harrison from Elizabeth. Police say Harrison opened fire on the state police barracks in Elizabeth Wednesday afternoon. State Police Spokesman Mike Baylous says, when a state trooper and a Wirt County Deputy responded to a call of shots fired at the detachment, they encountered Harrison who was inside a UPS truck and were able to make visual contact. Baylous says Harrison presented a weapon in a threatening manner toward the officers.
