How they died
Deadly force
Around 1:40 a.m. a trooper found a Dodge pickup that was reported stolen. Clark, the driver of the pickup, refused to stop. During the pursuit, Clark allegedly shot at the state trooper's other. The trooper was not hurt and eventually lost sight of the other in Wytheville, VA. The Dodge pickup was found 30 minutes later abandoned. At 3:45 a.m., a police officer in Wytheville stopped a "suspicious other" on West Railroad Avenue. The driver was apparently looking for Clark. Soon after, a pursuit involving a stolen Ford F-350 began. Police said Clark rammed a Wythe County deputy and hit a Virginia trooper." (Both officers were in their vehicles.) A responding deputy and state trooper shot and killed Clark.
