Roll of Honor
Cameron Robert Girvin
Incident
Police Officer Cameron Girvin and Police Officer Chris Reese were shot while conducting a traffic stop at Sylvan Court at approximately 11:30 p.m. Friday evening.
While on patrol, Officer Girvin and Officer Reese observed a car with an expired plate and executed a traffic stop. During the traffic stop, the officers asked the subject to exit the vehicle, and the subject refused; when finally exiting the vehicle, the subject tussled with the officers and immediately produced a pistol, shooting both Officer Girvin and Officer Reese. While the officers were incapacitated and on the ground, the subject shot each officer a second time and then fled the scene.
The subject was found in a shed near the initial scene with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
First responders attempted life-saving procedures, and both officers were transported to local hospitals. Officer Girvin succumbed to his wounds at 4:30 a.m. Saturday morning at Virginia Beach General Hospital. Officer Reese had succumbed to his wounds just after midnight at Princess Anne Hospital.
Officer Girvin had served with the Virginia Beach Police Department for five years.
Survivors
He is survived by his expectant wife and parents.
