VIRGINIA-The Richmond Times-Democrat reports that bondsman James Woolfolk was alone and unarmed when he was killed last Thursday morning while attempting to apprehend fugitive James Carr. Woolfolk was found inside a residence with gunshot wounds to the back, head, and neck. He was shot from behind.
The State of Virginia requires a firearms endorsement in order to carry a weapon while performing bail bond or recovery work. Woolfolk, who has been licensed since 2007, had no endorsement.
Prosecutors say that Carr has admitted to the shooting. Carr has been placed in protective custody in an undisclosed facility.
Among other survivors, Woolfolk leaves behind a 14-year old daughter. Funeral services are scheduled for Tuesday at 1 pm.

Why was this bondsman without s firearm? why was he alone, who was his general? why didn`t he train him or go with him on this hunt. I`m sure the general knew this area? Was the bondsman without a lawful ability to obtain an endorsment?
