Suspect captured in fatal shooting of West Virginia officer

A state police officer was fatally shot Friday in southern West Virginia, and a suspect was later arrested, authorities said.

Sgt. Cory Maynard was killed in the shooting, Gov. Jim Justice said in a statement, adding that he was "absolutely heartbroken." He and first lady Cathy Justice extended their sympathies to Maynard's family.

"The brave men and women of law enforcement, and all first responders who put their lives on the line every day to keep us safe, are an inspiration to us all," Justice said.
