PITTSYLVANIA COUNTY, Va. - Investigators at the scene of Tuesday's triple homicide that rocked the Keeling community in Pittsylvania County may not have shown their emotions, but the case no doubt had an impact on many of them.
Chivvis is a former detective himself and knows first hand just how traumatic situations like Tuesday's triple homicide can be.
"Law enforcement, we've had such a bravado that you can be seen as weak for talking about that.
We're doing the right thing," Chivvis saidAn encounter with an officer at the scene Tuesday was evidence, Pittsylvania County Sheriff Mike Taylor said at a news conference Wednesday, of just how emotionally tough the case is.
The suspect in Tuesday's homicide, 19-year-old Matthew Bernard, was scheduled to be arraigned Thursday morning but was instead hospitalized for unknown reasons.
