State Trooper Killed In Chester County

PAOLI, Pa. (AP) — Authorities say a Pennsylvania State Police trooper is dead after he was shot and killed by a suspect he had pulled over in a traffic stop. The state’s acting police commissioner, Lt. Col. George Bivens, told a late Sunday night news conference that Cpl. Tim O’Connor was killed as he approached the car when the driver fired from inside the vehicle. Bivens says the shooter then got out of the car and shot and killed himself with a pistol. Authorities say O’Connor was married and had a daughter. Bivens says O’Connor had been on patrol when a call came in for an erratic driver in Chester County, about 45 miles west of Philadelphia.
