Russell McCurry, 36, a member of the Salem Police Force, was shot to death in Salem, Va, on February 29th. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Hoyt McCurry of Danville. Patrolman McCurry was shot while he was guarding a parking lot where there had been several vehicle radio thefts. Two teenagers have been charged in the murder incident in Salem. One other youth is expected to be charged in the incident.
Retired From Navy: McCurry retired from the U.S. Navy after 20 years in February of 1975, when he went to work for the police department. He was discharged as a chief petty officer and had been stationed recently in Norfolk. He was a Vietnam veteran.
Wounds One of Suspects: McCurry apparently wounded one of the juvenile suspects in the leg after he was shot once in the chest. He and another patrolman were guarding the parking lot because of a rash of citizens band radios and other items taken from vehicles there.
According to the Salem World-News, here is a condensed sequence of events of the shooting: Shortly after 3:00 a.m., McCurry noticed a suspect entering a car and confronted the suspect. The suspect turned and ran firing at the officer as he attempted to escape. McCurry chased the suspect to a getaway car. As they neared the car, another suspect emerged. That suspect, opened fire on the officer and McCurry also fired. McCurry was struck in the chest with a fatal shot and the second suspect was wounded. Both suspects fled on foot and a third suspect crawled under another vehicle. Another officer, also at the parking lot, fired twice at one of the fleeing suspects but missed. Two of the boys were caught soon after along a bank leading from the parking lot. The third suspect was captured about two hours later. Bond for the youths were set at $100,000 each.
Sgt. Praises McCurry: Salem Police Sgt. H. C. Kingery, a 20-year veteran on the force said that McCurry was a very good friend of his and commented that McCurry was always extremely cautious and one who didn't take unnecessary risks or act before thinking. Sgt. Kingery said that McCurry seemed to enjoy his work. He was a good police officer.
