State Trooper: Police and State

state trooper: Ahmed Aminamin El-Mofty fired at a Harrisburg police officer on Friday afternoon and later at a state trooper, wounding her before pursuing her, Dauphin County District Attorney Ed Marsico said, according to The Chronicle Herald. He fired several shots at a Capitol police officer and at a Pennsylvania state police trooper in marked vehicles, Marsico told reporters, flanked by state police, Capitol police and FBI officials. There's no doubt a gunman who fired at police in several locations in the state capital, wounding one of them before they shot and killed him, was targeting police officers, a prosecutor said. The gunfire began shortly after 4 p.m. About 20 or 30 minutes later, he fired several shots at the state trooper, striking her with one of those shots. Friday, when the man fired several shots at a state capitol officer in downtown Harrisburg, striking his car several times and sending one shot that went very close to hitting him, Marsico said.
