In another insane story of a bad guy trying to kill a cop, a State Trooper shot a dude as he clung to the side of the perp’s car as he tried to CRUSH him against a concrete barrier!!!
Watch below:
A Pennsylvania State Police trooper shot and killed the driver of a vehicle Tuesday after the driver tried to crush him against the cement median along Interstate 83, according to a news release.
Police said the trooper stopped the vehicle on I-83 South near mile marker 24, the Emigsville exit, for a traffic violation. During the stop, the driver fled in the car, causing the trooper to “become stuck to the left side of the vehicle.” How he became stuck is unknown at this time, police said.
The driver dragged the trooper about three-10ths of a mile, during which he attempted to ram the trooper against the median, police said.
The trooper, fearing for his safety and the public’s safety, fired his weapon, striking and killing the driver, police said, adding that they are not releasing the number of bullets fired.
The driver, whose identity has not been released, died at the scene. The car displays a Virginia license plate.
The trooper suffered injuries that do not appear to be life threatening, police said. The trooper received medical attention.
A box truck also was struck at some point toward the end of the incident. The driver was not injured.
Wow!! Thank goodness he wasn’t hurt!!
Yesterday we had a similarly insane story in Florida where a passerby came upon a man viciously beating up a Deputy after a car chase, pulled out his gun, shot and killed the dude. You can read that here.
