( CNN ) -- Virginia State Police say they have identified the gunman who fired a high-powered rifle at four county deputies , killing two of them , officials said Monday , but they still do n't have a motive for the shootings . Buchanan County Deputies Eric Dewayne Rasnake , 32 , and Shane Earl Charles , 25 , were shot multiple times after responding to a `` larceny in progress '' call at a salvage business in Vansant , Virginia , Sheriff Roy Foster said . The wounded deputies were able to crawl to a nearby residence for cover . Deputies Cameron Neil Justus , 41 , and William Ezra Stiltner , 46 , were shot with the same high-powered weapon after they rushed to the scene to help their fallen comrades , police said . Justus and Stiltner died at the scene . `` Please take comfort in knowing that their sacrifice was not in vain , '' an emotional Foster said Monday . `` These two men gave their lives for what they dedicated their lives to doing , '' Foster said . On Monday , Virginia State Police named Randy Gilbert Newberry as the suspect in the shootings . Officials say the 52-year-old was hiding on a ridge when he fired at officers responding to both crime scenes . After the shootings , officials said , they found Newberry about a quarter of a mile up the road from the salvage business , talking on a cell phone . Police said they repeatedly asked Newberry to `` put his hands up and get on the ground , '' but the suspect ignored their orders and instead aimed a handgun at officers . According to the state police , Newberry was then shot and killed . The Buchanan County Sheriff 's Office is dealing with the tragic loss of its men while Virginia State Police tries to determine a possible motive . Foster praised his officers for their valiant efforts in a difficult time . `` I appreciate every single one of you that was there fighting for the lives of your fallen brothers , '' he said . `` It 's been about 40 years since Buchanan County lost a man in the line of duty , '' Foster said , and `` to lose two more and to have two more seriously injured in the same day is overwhelming . '' Wounded deputies Rasnake and Charles both remain hospitalized . Rasnake was shot three times , according to Foster , and Charles is on a respirator . Both remain in critical condition . `` Our prayers go out to their families to the hope that they will recover and maybe one day return to wear the uniform that we so proudly wear , '' a tearful Foster said . The close community is coming together in support of the fallen deputies . Local media report that a Facebook page has been set up to seek prayers for the deputies . The site , which has more than 3,000 friends , is encouraging people to attend a candlelight service Monday night at the Buchanan County Courthouse . Foster says churches will also be open for support and encouraged the community to come in and fellowship .
