TEEN KILLED IN SHOOTOUT WITH POLICE

Raymond D. Helmick, 17, was shot fatally Sunday by officer Chris Young of the Martinsville police, Martinsville Police Chief Terry Roop said.

Sometime before 4 p.m., Martinsville officers were called to a residence over a domestic dispute. A male who was carrying a shotgun fled in a car, Roop said.

The officers chased the car into Henry County, where at the intersection of U.S. 220 and U.S. 58 it slid over an embankment.

As the three officers, who had joined in the chase, approached the car, gunfire broke out and the teen-ager was killed, Roop said.

Roop declined to discuss further details of the incident pending the outcome of a state police investigation.
