An FBI agent participating in several raids of Page County businesses and homes was accidentally shot during the investigation, according to an FBI spokeswoman.
Details are still coming in to WHSV, but we do know agents, along with the Virginia State Police, raided several locations.
IBR Corporation in Luray and the Valley Exxon in Stanley were searched Thursday morning by agents from the FBI and the IRS. Agents were seen removing evidence in boxes from both locations.
Both IBR Corporation and Valley Exxon are owned by Isaac George, Jr.
Agents also searched the homes of George and other family members. The accidental shooting of the FBI agent is reported to have occurred at one of these residences.
Both the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's office declined to comment on the investigation.
Both businesses were closed briefly, but later re-opened after agents conducted their initial investigation.

To all those spouting vicious rumors, you might want to remember that whatever your opinion may be, there are families with children involved. Why not try to be christian until the truth comes out, it always does in the end.
To small town anonymous, you might want to check your facts and tax records before you accuse someone. Making false accusations can be a serious offense.
IBR pays inmates a wage and from it is deducted a % to the sheriff so inmates say. The inmates working at IBR will tell you themselves if you ask! The inmates will also tell you, but then be punished or moved to another facility, that they are FORCED to work at the sheriff's house. They built his house & picnic shelter. They weekly mow his grass. We citizens pay for that gas to mow it and for the deputy to drive them there. Why is it we're OVERCROWDED but so many inmates here are from out of this county - we have Frederick county inmates and they have a regional jail there! We have inmates for all the adjoining counties! Why do deputies who blow a whistle get fired and faithful ones drive their vehicles home - out of the county, nightly. Ever watch the Massanutten Mtn at quitting time? Our tax dollars pays that at $3.82 a gallon. Why is it drug raids, like the one at Wrights in 2007 also don't have sheriff cooperation? A meth lab, $20,000 cash,& our court null processed it too!
