Sgt. Tony Shifflett of the Augusta County Sheriff’s Office recently completed the Advanced Police Sniper School in New Canton and finished the course as the “Top Shot” among the 15 attendees.

Shifflett is a 15-year veteran of the sheriff’s office.

The sniper school was hosted by Complete Tactical.
