Chester, Va. • Authorities in Virginia say a man who was killed in a standoff with police had previously been involved in an armed impasse with law enforcers in Utah.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch reports that 38-year-old Kenneth Perna-Rutsky was involved in a 2014 armed standoff in Utah that ended without bloodshed. It wasn't clear if he was convicted of any charges in that incident near Salt Lake City.
Perna-Rutsky was killed Thursday at his Chester home. Carpenter says officers heard gunfire in the home and a woman and a child fled the residence.
Police say Perna-Rutsky came outside with a long gun that he fired at officers.
