Multiple law enforcement officers were reportedly shot Wednesday in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, according to U.S. Rep. John McGuire. The southern Virginia county, which sits along the Virginia–North Carolina border about 98 miles northwest of Raleigh, has seen a massive law enforcement and emergency response presence following the incident.

In a post on X, McGuire extended his thoughts and prayers to the deputies involved and their families. “We are closely following the situation and keeping everyone affected in our hearts during this difficult time,” he wrote. McGuire represents Virginia’s 5th congressional district, which includes Pittsylvania County.

Photos and videos from the scene show a large number of police vehicles, tactical units, and emergency responders responding to the ongoing situation. A police convoy and specialized tactical vehicle have been deployed to the area.

Details about the incident remain limited. Authorities have not disclosed how many officers were shot, the condition of the deputies, the circumstances leading up to the shooting, or whether any suspects are in custody. Officials continue to investigate.

Pittsylvania County, one of Virginia’s largest by land area, is known for its rural communities and proximity to the Dan River. The county is located roughly 30 miles north of Danville and near the North Carolina border.

This is a developing story, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available. Residents and the public are urged to stay clear of the area while law enforcement works to secure the scene and gather details about the incident.
