HAMILTON, Ohio — A Butler County man has been shot and killed after hours of being on the run from West Virginia police, West Virginia State Police said.
Scott O'Brien, a Hamilton, Ohio, native, allegedly shot a state trooper Monday morning during a traffic stop.
Police have not said what led up to O'Brien being shot and killed, and it's currently unclear if someone in law enforcement was the person that shot O'Brien.
Early Monday morning, a trooper pulled O'Brien over outside of a Dollar General store in Midway, West Virginia, which is roughly 2 hours southeast of Huntington, West Virginia. During the traffic stop, O'Brien shot the trooper.
The trooper was shot in the arm and is expected to be OK, police said.
