Late Friday evening, the Virginia Beach community suffered an unimaginable tragedy. Police Officer Cameron Girvin and Police Officer Chris Reese made the ultimate sacrifice while serving and protecting their city.

At approximately 11:30 p.m., Officers Girvin and Reese conducted a traffic stop on Sylvan Court after observing a vehicle with an expired plate. When the officers requested the driver to exit the vehicle, the situation escalated. The suspect resisted, then suddenly pulled a firearm and shot both officers. As they lay incapacitated on the ground, the suspect fired at them again before fleeing.

Despite the heroic efforts of first responders and medical personnel, Officer Reese succumbed to his injuries just after midnight at Princess Anne Hospital. Officer Girvin tragically passed away at 4:30 a.m. at Virginia Beach General Hospital.

Officer Cameron Girvin served with the Virginia Beach Police Department for five years. He is survived by his wife and parents.

Officer Chris Reese dedicated six years to law enforcement, serving three years with the Virginia Beach Sheriff’s Office before joining the police force three years ago.
