A convicted felon allegedly "executed" two Virginia police officers at point-blank range following a weekend traffic stop, authorities said.

Reese, 30, was taken to Sentara Princess Anne Hospital, where he died a short time later surrounded by family, friends, and fellow officers, Neudigate said. Reese became a Virginia Beach officer in 2022, after having served three years as a deputy sheriff for the city.

The officers spotted a car with expired licensed plates and ordered the driver to stop, the police said. The driver who opened fire was later found dead.
