Authorities are learning more about the man who killed Virginia State Trooper Chad Dermyer at a Greyhound station in Richmond, Virginia.

“We’ve got a lot of evidence to sift through,” Flaherty said. The evidence, he said, included bags that could have belonged to the gunman.

A CBS affiliate in Chicago is reporting they’ve heard from an official source that authorities have identified the shooter as 34-year-old James Brown III of Aurora, Illinois.

WTVR reports:

WTVR found a James Brown III., a man with a long criminal history in Aurora, whose birthdate matches up with the information from the station’s source.

Brown, says WTVR, is well known to police there.
