Fredericksburg police officers involved in Monday's
fatal shooting at a city gas station returned to duty yesterday. The
unidentified officers were placed on administrative leave for about 72
hours after the shooting of Robert C. Trouth in the parking lot of
Eubank's BP Station on Princess Anne Street. "They are back on the job
after evaluations of both their physical and mental health," city
police Chief Jim Powers said yesterday. "From what I know at the
present time, it appears they used the utmost restraint in such a
highly charged situation." Officers ticketed Trouth, 29, of Essex
County, for failure to obey a traffic sign and driving without a
license, city police spokesman Jim Shelhorse said. [more ]
