The Virginia State Police are investigating after a father allegedly fatally shot his daughter’s husband in Lee County.


According to a release from VSP, the Lee County Sheriff’s Office was called to a domestic situation in the 9400 block of U.S. Highway 421 at 7:29 p.m. on Wednesday March 10, 2021.


The release says 47 year old Kevin Corbin of Pennington Gap, had forced his way into his in-laws’ home and had started “violently dragging his wife out the front door.” VSP reports the wife’s 64-year-old father shot at Corbin.
