GROTTOES, Va. A prosecutor says a Virginia deputy who fatally shot a knife-wielding man after responding to a call about a break-in acted appropriately and will not face charges.
Augusta County Commonwealthâs Attorney Tim Martin announced his decision in a news release after receiving a Virginia State Police investigative report about the May 14 shooting of Jeffrey J. Bruce in Grottoes.
Martin, who provided a summary of the investigative findings, says Bruce was shot after he held a knife over his head as he screamed and charged at the deputies.
