We’re getting breaking news from Richmond, Virginia of an early afternoon shooting where it appears that a criminal suspect may be dead after exchanging fire with a police officer:

Police sources tell CBS 6 News that a Richmond police officer was shot during an officer-involved shooting in city’s East End Friday afternoon not far from Rockett’s Landing.

The sources said that the officer and a suspect were involved in a shooting at Fulton Street and Old Denny Street near Admiral Gravely Boulevard in the city’s Fulton neighborhood.

The officer has been transported to VCU Medical Center with what a source describes as non-life threatening injuries.

Those sources said the suspect was also shot. Multiple sources told CBS 6 News that the suspect is dead.
