Virginia State Police and Deputies from the King George County Sheriff’s Office responded to a deadly shooting that occurred at a weigh station in King George County.

Virginia State Police said that shortly after an SUV stopped in the parking lot, a woman got out of the vehicle and started running away.
Officials said the man driving then quickly got out and “appears to have fired a handgun at the female.”
