RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Virginia State Police have announced funeral services for the trooper who was killed by a gunman at the Greyhound bus station in Richmond.

Trooper Chad P. Dermyer's funeral is set for 11 a.m. Tuesday at Liberty Baptist Church in Hampton. A private burial will follow in Gloucester County.

Visitation is scheduled form 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. and from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday at the church in Hampton.

Authorities say Dermyer was fatally shot by James Brown III of Aurora, Illinois, during a state police training exercise at the bus terminal Thursday. Two other troopers returned fire, killing the 34-year-old Brown.

Two women were wounded by gunfire. Their injuries were not life-threatening.

The 37-year-old Dermyer, a Marine veteran, was the married father of two children.
