Officials stated that this incident is still under investigation, and they are committed to investigating interstate shootings and holding accountable those who pose a threat to public safety.

"Their willingness to speak up and share what they saw made a real difference. We encourage anyone who witnesses a criminal act or suspicious activity to report it to law enforcement immediately — your information could be the key to preventing future violence," Frey added.

State police ask that those with information on any ongoing VSP cases call 804-750-8758.
