Aurora man kills Virginia cop

Richmond, Va.
friend of a gunman at a Virginia bus station said Friday he frequently expressed his hatred toward police and once nearly choked her to death after she broke up with him. James Brown III, of Aurora, was killed Thursday by two Virginia state troopers after authorities say he fatally shot Trooper Chad P. Dermyer at a Richmond Greyhound station.

Brown, 34, who had a lengthy criminal record, previously said he would rather die fighting police than return to prison, the exgirlfriend said. “He wanted to be one of those guys that just died killing police officers because they are not taking him back to jail,” she said. She spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because she said she fears for her safety.
actly happened at the busy bus terminal and what Brown’s motive was. Dermyer had been participating in a counterterrorism training exercise at the bus station with about a dozen other troopers, special agents and supervisors when he was shot. Two women were also shot but were expected to recover. State Police Superintendent Col. Steven Flaherty said surveillance footage from the bus station helped authorities pull together what happened moments before the shooting. Brown, at the terminal for a stop on his way to Chicago, was seated in a restaurant. He walked toward his bags near the front entrance of the station and encountered Dermyer, who may have made some small talk, and Brown pulled a handgun and started firing. Flaherty said the gun was legally purchased more than a year ago, but not by Brown. He had more than 140 rounds with him. Brown had an extensive criminal record in his home state, including charges of attempted murder, unlawful possession of a firearm and body armor as a felon and threatening to kill someone by phone.
Criminal record
• Attempted murder. • Unlawful possession of a firearm and body armor as a felon. • Threatening to kill someone by phone. • Domestic battery and aggravated battery of a pregnant woman. • Often pleaded guilty to lesser charges after being charged with several crimes. He often pleaded guilty to lesser charges or a single charge after being charged with several crimes. The slain trooper is survived by his wife and two children. He was a former Marine who previously served on police forces in Jackson, Mich., and Newport News, Va. Friends and family fondly recalled Dermyer as a devoted family man and consummate professional. More than a 100 supporters gathered Friday evening at the Siegel Center at Virginia Commonwealth University to honor Dermyer. “He was a gentle, outgoing person who would do anything for anyone,” his brother John Dermyer Jr. said in an email.
