VSP investigating officer-involved shooting in Shenandoah County
At the request of the Shenandoah County Sheriff and the Woodstock Police Department Chief, the Virginia State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation’s Culpeper Field Office is investigating the officer-involved shooting.
At approximately 10:07 p.m., Monday, July 25, 2022, the Shenandoah County Sheriff’s Office and the Woodstock Police Department responded to a report of a suicidal subject along the 1100 block of Copp Road in Shenandoah County. When officers arrived at the residence, the subject, Sean C. McCormick, 64, was already in an agitated state. Officers established a perimeter and began negotiations with McCormick in an attempt to de-escalate the situation. McCormick fired a gun multiple times while inside the residence. McCormick then exited armed with a gun when officers fired and struck him. Officers rendered aid and McCormick was transported to Winchester Medical Center for treatment, where he later succumbed to his injuries.
McCormick’s remains will be transported to the Office of the Medical Examiner for examination and autopsy.
No officers or other persons were injured during the incident.
The investigation remains ongoing at this time.
