执法官员表示，弗吉尼亚州正在搜捕一名嫌疑人，该嫌疑人涉嫌在一名副警长进行福利核查时将其杀害。
卡罗尔县警长办公室表示，洛根·厄特副警长是在警方接到一名家属请求后前往该地点进行福利核查时遭枪击身亡的。
根据警长办公室的说法，一名在家中的男子向两名抵达现场的副警长开火。副警长进行了还击，两人均中弹。厄特被宣告死亡，另一名副警长则被防弹背心挡下了子弹。官员表示，该副警长目前正在接受医疗检查，情况稳定。
“副警长厄特是一位尽责的丈夫、慈爱的父亲、深受珍视的家人与朋友，也是我们执法队伍中受人尊敬的一员。他的服务、勇气与奉献精神不会被遗忘，”警长办公室在一份声明中说道。
厄特于2023年加入警长办公室，此前曾在军队服役。
警方正在全力搜捕嫌疑人。执法官员表示，该嫌疑人持有武器，极具危险性。
“我的办公室正在密切关注这起悲剧性事件，”弗吉尼亚州州长阿比盖尔·斯潘伯格在社交媒体上写道。“我呼吁任何掌握嫌疑人行踪线索的民众联系弗吉尼亚州警察局。在我们应对这一可怕局面之际，我与厄特副警长的家人以及卡罗尔县警长办公室同在。”
Manhunt underway for suspect in Virginia accused of killing sheriff’s deputy

A manhunt is underway in Virginia for a suspect accused of killing a sheriff’s deputy while he was conducting a welfare check, law enforcement officials said.
Deputy Logan Utt was fatally shot after police received a request from a family member to do a welfare check at the location, the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office said.
A man at the home opened fire on the two deputies who responded to the location, according to the sheriff’s office. The deputies returned fire, the sheriff’s office said, and both were hit by gunfire. Utt was pronounced dead, while the second deputy was struck in his ballistic vest. That deputy is currently receiving medical evaluation and is reported to be in stable condition, officials said.
“Deputy Utt was a devoted husband, loving father, cherished family member, friend, and respected member of our law enforcement family. His service, courage, and dedication will not be forgotten,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement.
Utt joined the sheriff’s office in 2023, after serving in the military.
A search is underway for the suspect. He should be considered armed and extremely dangerous, law enforcement officials said.
“My office is closely monitoring this tragic incident,” Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger wrote on social media. “I encourage anyone with information on the suspect’s whereabouts to contact Virginia State Police. My thoughts are with the deputy’s family and the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office as we work through this awful situation.”
