The weapon used in the shooting is still under investigation, he said. “I watched the shotgun blast hit my trooper”.
“You don’t always expect that out of people”, Edmonson said. Anderson said the trooper was responding to a report of a vehicle driving in an unsafe manner. “They jumped out, they subdued him, grabbed the trooper’s handcuffs and put them on the suspect”.
“Edmonson said he won’t forget the words Daigle said to the trooper as he was lying on the pavement for quite a while”. “Customarily, attempted murder of a police officer would be a charge that would fit”.
‘He struggled with the guys who came to assist – had some scrapes on him and so on, ‘ Anderson said.
Anderson stated he hasn’t been advised what expenses the driving force faces.
The accused shooter was also taken to a hospital, according to Anderson, but what injury the suspect sustained isn’t clear.
At this time, there is no information on the trooper’s condition.
