Va. State Police Investigation continues into Frederick County shooting The investigation remains ongoing into the officer-involved shooting that took place Sunday morning (February 7, 2016) in the Clear Brook area of Frederick County. On February 7, 2016, at approxi-
mately 10:01 am, Deputies from the Frederick County Sheriff ’s Office responded to the 300 block of Browns Lane in reference to a 911 call concerning an armed subject threatening suicide. Deputies responded to the residence and despite their efforts to calm Charles H. Cook Jr., 42, of Clear Brook, Va., he became more agitated and fired his weapon at the deputies. A deputy returned fire striking Cook. He was transported to the Winchester Medical Center, where he is still being treated for a serious but non-life threatening wound. The scene was secured and, at the request of the Frederick County Sheriff ’s Office, the incident will be investigated by the Virginia State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation’s Culpeper Field Office’s Police. Charges are pending against Cook as the investigation remains ongoing.

The Entrepreneur Café provides a forum where small businesses can gain exposure while addressing funding needs. Entrepreneurs seeking financial support present their project through a 5-minute presentation with 5 minutes for questions/answers from the audience & local judges regarding their goals, experience and business plan; when all the presentations are complete, a panel of judges will determine which project receives a cash prize of up to $5000 and a marketing package val-
ued at over $3500. Members of the community are invited to participate for a $10 admission fee. This fee is their “investment” in their business community. A second cash award will be presented to the audience favorite based on their votes. The Entrepreneur Café is very similar to the popular television show Shark Tank. In order for a business to compete: • submit a completed application with the $50 entry fee • must have been in business for at least one year with a valid EIN number • complete the required education modules; • be licensed in City of Winchester, the Town of Front Royal or the counties of Clarke, Frederick, Page,
