Four people were shot, including a state trooper who is in critical condition after a shooting at Greyhound bus station in Richmond, Virginia on Thursday, Virginia State Police said. The suspect is dead.

At least four people were shot when a gunman opened fire on Virginia State Police inside the Greyhound bus station in Richmond on Thursday afternoon.

Richmond police said two of the victims were in critical condition. One trooper was shot, as well as two civilians.

Virginia State Police were conducting a training exercise for narcotics at the bus station when gunfire erupted, police told WRIC. The exercise involved troopers questioning passengers as they came off a bus. One passenger exiting the bus opened fire on a trooper and a gun battle ensued.

The suspect, a trooper and two civilians were shot. Only the suspect is dead, Virginia State Police spokeswoman Corinne Geller told reporters.

The suspect approached one officer inside the bus station during the training exercise and shot him in the chest, with at least trooper returning fire, sources told WTVR. The trooper who was shot in the chest has life-threatening injuries, police said.

A man who stopped for a smoke break before going into the bus station said he heard at least five to ten shots fired.

"The saddest day in Richmond," Richmond City Council member Reva Trammell told reporters about the Greyhound shooting.

Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe released statement and offered the Richmond mayor and the Virginia State Police superintendent whatever state resources they may need in investigating the shooting.

The FBI is on the scene at the Greyhound station, which is closed, WWBT's Mike Valerio reported.

Timed perfectly in sync with Gifford's VA visit about gun control.

Just an odd coincidence I'm sure. Also happened in a controlled environment with plenty of police officers around. Their lucky day they happened to question a suicidal man about narcotics in an exercise at a bus stop.

Whether the "shooter" was prepared or provoked is in question.

What is not in question is that this would not have happened without the Police presence.

A Mundane decided he was not going to get questioned or arrested today.

Ha ha.

Nope, they're state terminators. Especially the Henrico cops. People flee into Richmond from Henrico hoping to get stopped by any other cop. Anything but Henrico cops.
