Barmak is being held at the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail.<\/p>\n<p>The shooting happened after an emergency call came into the Wintergreen Police Department about Barmak assaulting two other men at a home where they were all staying, state police said in a news release. After calling police, the two injured men, both 23, ran away.<\/p>\n<p>Wagner, 31, was the first to arrive and encountered Barmak in the woods. During a struggle over Wagner\u2019s department-issued handgun, Barmak <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/florida-suspect-killed-shooting-waiting-deputies-opening-fire-wounding-officer-police\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">shot and killed the officer<\/a>, police said.

He said Wagner enjoyed hiking and photographing nature in his spare time.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Chris was dedicated to his job and whenever called for extra duty he was ready, willing and able. His love for the badge was evident and his commitment to the community was undeniable,&#8221; Russell said.<\/p>\n<p>Wintergreen is about 100 mileswest of Richmond.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/police-officer-fatally-shot-confrontation-assault-suspect-virginia-mountain-town\">Source &#8211; https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/police-officer-fatally-shot-confrontation-assault-suspect-virginia-mountain-town <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Maryland man has been arrested in the fatal shooting of a police officer who was killed during a struggle with an assault suspect in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":{"twitter_2902945987_2902945987":""},"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","footnotes":""},"categories":[16563],"tags":[],"stock_ticker":[],"class_list":["post-70542","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-market-news","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
