DEVELOPING: Police and ambulances rushed to a Greyhound bus station in Richmond, Va. Thursday after reports of an active shooter, according to local media.

Paramedics rushed at least four people to a nearby hospital, WRIC reports. It was unclear whether the shooter was among them.

A trooper may be among the wounded, WTVR adds.

The bus station is three miles north of Virginia Commonwealth University's downtown Richmond campus.

No information or photo of the dead shooter yet?

 WTVR, here in Richmond said it was a black male from Illinois.

Had a mile long violent police record.

Last name was Brown, I think.

I didn't catch the first name.

Yep, Chicago was correct.

34-year-old James Brown III of Aurora, Illinois.

Cop-Hating Black Thug Kills White Police Officer In Virginia

http://downtrend.com/71superb/cop-hating-black-thug-kills-white-police-officer-in-virginia

April 1, 2016| by Brian Anderson

The Black Lives Matter movement has claimed another law enforcement victim. A black scumbag with a long criminal history lived out his fantasy of killing a police officer in Virginia yesterday. As tragic as this was, the brave officers that stopped this piece of shit may have actually foiled a much larger terrorist killing spree.

FOX News reports that 34-year old ex-con James Brown III shot and killed State Trooper Chad Dermyer at the Greyhound bus station in Richmond, VA on Thursday. The officer was part of a training exercise involving criminal interdiction. Trooper Dermyer approached Brown as part of this training, but things didn’t go as planned.

Brown pulled out a handgun and shot Dermyer, who was not wearing a bulletproof vest. Other officers returned fire, bringing Brown down. Both the Trooper and the criminal were brought to the VCU Medical Center where each of them expired. One tragically, the other, good riddance.

According to Brown’s aunt Edith Brown, her nephew, who has been arrested on everything from battery to murder, has fantasized about killing cops.

“He had a lot of anger about the police in the past. He said he would never go back to prison again… he would fight it out with them,” said Edith Brown. “He pretty much thought he wanted to be infamous… in terms of having a showdown. He always praised those people who got into shootouts with police.”

This tragic story actually has an intriguing twist to it. Trooper Dermyer was part of the VA State Police CounterTerrorism and Criminal Interdiction Unit. While authorities are tight-lipped on the actual purpose of the training exercise he was participating in, presumably it involved stopping a terrorist plot.

James Brown III was on his way from North Carolina to his home in Illinois when the bus made a scheduled stop in Richmond. Police say in addition to the handgun, he had 143 rounds of ammunition on him. That’s an awful lot of ammo to carry if your purpose is self-defense. It seems more likely, this POS had a mass shooting in mind.

Adding to the intrigue is the fact that the Joint Terrorism Task Force has joined the investigation. Was Brown a terrorist and did the police have some specific information that he was planning an attack? Did he maybe post something on social media and did he have connections to terrorist organizations? It will be interesting to see how this investigation plays out, because it seems like there’s a lot more to it.

If Brown does turn out to be an ISIS sympathizer or conspirator, you can bet your ass president Obama will downplay the role of radical Islam. Hell, he doesn’t even care that a law enforcement officer was killed, so he’s certainly not going to acknowledge it if it ends up being part of a terrorist plot. Since Trooper Dermyer was on the job I am sure the Obama administration will write this off as “workplace violence.”

Malkin: #VSPShooting: Trooper Assassin James Brown III was a cop-hating Django
Conservative Review
By: Michelle Malkin | April 01, 2016

The Left’s reckless indulgence of War on Police rhetoric has come home to roost again.

Yesterday, Virginia State Police officer Chad Dermyer was gunned down point-blank in the chest by vigilante James Brown III at a Richmond, Va. bus station where troopers were wrapping up a training exercise. Both Dermyer and Brown died in the shootout; several others were injured.

CBS 6 interviewed Brown’s aunt, who had helped raised him and left no doubt about the killer’s motives. This rage-filled assassin hated cops, had amassed a mile-long rap sheet, and cheered other cop-killers. "He always liked the criminal side," she told the station.

"He had a lot of anger about the police in the past," she added. "He pretty much thought he wanted to be infamous . . . in terms of having a showdown. He always praised those people who got into shootouts with police."

Brown, in other words, was Quentin Tarantino’s Django come to life, following in the footsteps of glory-seeking, cop-bashing spree killer Christopher Dorner.

Dorner, you’ll recall, was cheered by liberal professors and pundits such as the repulsive Marc Lamont Hill, who called Dorner a “real life superhero” whose manifesto “had a plan and a mission” to get “revenge against the system” that was “kind of exciting” to watch.

Deranged activists on the Left cheered the murders of NYPD officers, Wenjian Liu & Rafael Ramos.

They took to the streets hurling invectives and bottles at the “pigs” who should “fry.”

They glorified 1980s cop-killing icon Larry Davis, who gunned down six NYPD officers.

They glamorized cop-killing fugitive Joanne Chesimard a.k.a. Assata Shakur.

As I’ve reported many times, President Obama’s silence, apathy, or outright hostility to cops in the face of rising anti-police vigilantism under his watch has created dangerous and deadly conditions for the men and women on the thin blue line. (See also Heather Mac Donald’s upcoming book, The War on Cops.)

As usual, leftists whitewash away any responsibility for their rhetoric and climate of hate.

That’s why, despite trooper-killer James Brown III’s reported bigotry and deep-seated vendetta against law enforcement, you’ll continue to see the shooting spree referred to by its location (the “#GreyhoundShooting” or "#RichmondShooting") instead of by its victims (the “#VSPshooting) ...
