The man who shot and killed a police officer near the campus of Virginia Tech a few days ago (Thu. Dec 8) before turning the gun on himself and committing suicide had reportedly broken up with his girlfriend over the summer and was said to be going through some family issues.
But despite all of that, 22-year-old Ross Truett Ashley was a loyal person and wouldn’t even hurt a fly, according to old friends and former classmates.
“Ross wasn’t that kind of person. He was friendly, nice,” said Nic Robinson, a 21-year-old history major at Radford University near Virginia Tech. “Obviously, he had his bad days, but it was the same as anyone else having those days.”
