Overview
- Officials identified the man as Ethan Roy Basche, 31, of Chisholm, and the officer as Lt. Henry Trunk, a 10-year veteran of the Virginia Police Department.
- Virginia police say Trunk shot Basche after ordering him to raise his hands when Basche moved toward the officer holding an object that looked like a gun.
- Investigators recovered a ski mask, spent casings, and a torch lighter that the BCA says resembled a firearm.

- Trunk is on standard critical-incident leave as the BCA completes its probe and sends findings, without a charging recommendation, to the St. Louis County Attorney’s Office.
