Summary at a Glance

Representative Jen Kiggans, whose district includes Virginia Beach, said her office’s “thoughts and prayers” are with the officers’ families and their community.

Two Virginia police officers were fatally shot during a traffic stop on Friday evening, according to an announcement from their police department.

Virginia Beach officers Cameron Girvin and Christopher Reece were “shot in the line of duty” during a late-night traffic stop, Chief Paul Neudigate told reporters Saturday afternoon.

McCoy then got out of the car and fatally shot each of the officers twice with a pistol, Neudigate said.

"Heartbreaking news out of Virginia Beach where local media reports one officer was killed and another seriously injured last night," the office wrote on X.
