How they died
Deadly force
Danville Police Officer Berry Sossoman was leaving a city fueling station when he was flagged down by a woman concerning a fight between two men in front of a house. The officer got out to break up the fight and was joined shortly afterward by another officer. While trying to break up the fight between Roderick Warren Valentine and Corey Flippen, 33, Flippen cut Valentine with a knife. Valentine pulled out a handgun and fired it at Flippen striking him in the arm and Officer Sossoman in the hand. Sossoman shot and killed Valentine. Flippen was charged with malicious wounding.
