West Virginia State Trooper Killed in Apparent Ambush, Suspect Charged with Murder.

A Mingo County man, Timothy Kennedy, has been charged with first-degree murder in connection with the fatal shooting of State Police Sgt. Cory Maynard. Kennedy shot Benjamin Baldwin with a rifle before troopers arrived, and Baldwin is being treated in a Charleston hospital. Maynard was fatally wounded after responding to the initial call on Beech Creek Road. Kennedy was taken into custody after a seven-hour manhunt and is being held without bond at the Southwestern Regional Jail. Maynard's death marks the third fatal police officer shooting in West Virginia in the last two and a half years.
