Neither Culpeper Mayor Chip Coleman nor Town Manager Kim Alexander has heard anything new regarding a possible lawsuit by the husband of a woman shot and killed by an unidentified town police officer.
On Feb. 15 the town received a letter from David B. Kendall, a personal injury lawyer from Charlottesville, stating that he and Gregory Webb, also from Charlottesville, are representing Gary Cook, widower of Patricia A. Cook, the woman killed  Feb. 9.
There have been published reports saying that Cook may sue the town of Culpeper over the shooting death of his wife but to date no suit has been filed.
“We’re in a holding pattern until the state police conclude their investigation,” Webb said. “Once that is done, we’ll know where to go from there.”
Patricia Cook was shot in her car during an incident with an officer in a parking lot outside a Catholic school.
The 54-year-old woman was unarmed and had no criminal background other than a single traffic ticket a number of years ago.
Police say she rolled up her car window and trapped the unidentified officer’s arm as she began to drive away. At least one witness has said that the officer’s hand was on the door handle, not in the window, when the first shot was fired at point blank range through the glass.
The officer fired several more times into oncoming traffic on East Street as the car rolled to a stop against a utility pole. Cook was pronounced dead at the scene.
Fauquier County Commonwealth’s Attorney Jim Fisher has been appointed as special prosecutor for the case.
