(Before It's News)

Mingo County Sheriff Eugene Crum was fatally shot Wednesday outside the Mingo County courthouse, WCHS reports.

The courthouse was evacuated and placed on lock down, WSAZ reports.

WCHS reports that a suspect has been taken into custody.

The suspect was shot but is “alert and talking,” and has been taken to the hospital, according to the Charleston Daily Mail.

Crum was eating lunch when a suspect drove by and fired at him, a county commissioner said, according to the Charleston Daily Mail. West Virginia House Delegate Justin Marcum said Crum enjoyed having his lunch in a place where he could see a former “pill mill,” the paper reported.

Crum was reportedly in his car when another vehicle pulled up alongside him. When Crum rolled down the window, he was shot twice, Marcum said, according to Charleston Daily Mail reporter Dave Boucher.

While campaigning for Mingo County Sheriff, Crum made drug control a central part of his platform, according to Charleston Gazette. House Finance Chairman Harry Keith White said Crum had been “aggressive” in combating drugs during his brief time as Mingo County Sheriff.

“Eugene Crum has exceeded my highest expectations as Mingo County Drug Enforcement Investigator and now as Mingo County Sheriff,” said Mingo County prosecutor C. Michael Sparks in January, according to WOWK-TV.
