FORK UNION, VA (CVILLE RIGHT NOW) – UPDATE: State Police say a 37-year old man is dead after being shot by sheriff’s deputies responding to a domestic incident Friday in Fork Union. Deputies were called Friday to an “armed domestic disturbance” in the 400 block of Gravel Hill Road. During the incident, a subject was found to be hiding inside a wall in the structure.

ORIGINAL:

State Police is conducting an investigation of what the Fluvanna County Sheriff’s Department describes as an officer-involved shooting Friday. The Fluvanna sheriff’s release is vague and doesn’t say a time but says deputies responded to a domestic disturbance Friday in the 400 block of Gravel Hill Road in Fork Union. While investigating the scene and searching for a wanted individual, deputies were involved in an officer-involved shooting. No details on whether it was an officer shooting a subject, or a subject shooting a deputy… or both, and no condition given on whomever was shot.

The Virginia State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation was called to the scene to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the incident. No further details are available at this time, and CvilleRightNow has reached out to State Police for more.
