West Virginia Mourns Fallen State Trooper Killed in Ambush Attack.
First responders from Marion County and beyond paid their respects to Sgt. Cory Maynard, a fallen state trooper who was shot and killed while responding to a shooting call in Mingo County. Maynard was an organ donor, and his body was transported from Charleston to Pittsburgh, passing under the Fairmont Gateway bridge. Emergency service vehicles and dozens of EMS volunteers and employees lined I-79 as the convoy carrying Maynard’s body drove by. Maynard, who was originally from Belfry, Kentucky, was sworn into the West Virginia State Police on October 9, 2007, and is survived by his wife and two children.
