A convicted felon allegedly "executed" two Virginia police officers at point-blank range following a weekend traffic stop, authorities said.

Two young officers were killed Friday night during a traffic stop in Virginia Beach. While officers were on the ground "defenseless," the suspect allegedly shot them a second time.

Families, law enforcement, and state officials are gathering in Virginia Beach to honor two police officers who died in the line of duty. Officers Cameron Girvin and Christopher Reese were shot and killed during a traffic stop last week.
