I searched and did not find any threads about this case. An unarmed 54-year old woman, Patricia Cook, was shot dead by a police officer on February 9. Initially the PD claimed the officer's arm was stuck in her window and that she dragged him with her car. But an eye witness came forward who said that's not what he saw.
There are quite a few links if you google "Patricia Cook Culpeper." Here are a few:

Culpeper Mayor, Police Chief issue statements about Patricia Cook
'He gunned down my sister'
Patricia A. Cook Dies In Culpeper Police Officer Involved Shooting In VA
I live in Virginia and they do have a tendency to brush police shootings under the rug. Years ago a young man, IIRC still in his teens, was shot dead by an off-duty police officer and there were no charges pressed in that case either.
