NORFOLK, Va. — Police say four special operations unit officers were wearing activated body cameras when a man they were trying to arrest fired at them and they returned fire.

The Virginian-Pilot reports that Norfolk police say 41-year-old Antonio Beekman was wanted by Virginia Beach police on charges of malicious wounding and firearms offenses.

Officers were trying to arrest Beekman on Tuesday when police said he began shooting at them and they returned fire, killing him.

Norfolk police spokesperson Sgt. Will Pickering says the department won’t release footage from body-worn cameras while the investigation is underway.

Pickering would not identify the officers or say whether police recovered a gun from Beekman at the scene.

Trump announces a $22.5B makeover of Dulles airport that will eliminate the ‘people movers’

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced a $22.5 billion renovation of Washington Dulles International Airport that will end the use of the widely disliked “people movers,” the mobile lounges that have been used for decades to shuttle travelers to and from the main terminal. In place of the people movers, the airport will add a new U-shaped passenger train, a central walking tunnel, more moving walkways and new concourses. An above-ground parking garage closer to the main terminal with space for 32,000 vehicles is also in the offing, according to Trump and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. The airport makeover would add to a long list of renovation projects the Republican president is pursuing to leave a lasting mark on the Washington region after his term ends in January 2029. Among other undertakings, he is building a new White House ballroom and wants to build a towering triumphal arch near the Lincoln Memorial. But of all the construction projects Trump is pursuing, the renovations at Dulles could prove to be his most popular and benefit the greatest number of people. The airport, the area’s primary international airport, served roughly 29 million passengers over the past year, according to the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority.
