New Delhi, Aug. 14 -- At least three law enforcement officers were shot in a mass shooting in Pittsylvania County, in southern Virginia, US, on Wednesday. The incident happened when deputies were reportedly serving warrants at a home in the Gretna area.

The warrants were for brandishing a firearm and trespassing, said Pittsylvania County Sheriff Michael W. Taylor. "They were also serving a protective order," officials were quoted by the Associated Press as saying.

Taylor told reporters that there was an hourslong standoff but it ended peacefully and with the suspected shooter in custody.

"All three are well. Of course they're shaken up. And they're going through the process now of trying to heal," Taylor said, adding: "They're OK."
