Maryland State Trooper involved in fatal shooting at Frederick gas station

A Maryland State Trooper shot and killed a man who used a stolen SUV to ram a police cruiser.

The shooting took place around 8:45 a.m. at the Sheetz gas off East Patrick Street when an on-duty trooper attempted to stop the man from leaving the station, according to MSP spokesman Greg Shipley.

Shipley said MSP believes the man deliberately rammed a responding Frederick Police officer's car before he was fired upon by another trooper from MSP's aviation command.

Emergency responders attempted CPR on the man in the parking lot outside the gas station before covering his body and blocking the scene with tarps.

So now cops shoot you from helicopters... What's next, cops using drones to shot people?

Fear is a hard emotion to overcome. They are still working on it.....
And, yes, 2:00pm, there are active design plans and contracts for armed drones.
For use in the USA.
They are getting ready as quick as they can.
If you aren't, then you'll be just another victim. Keep cheering.

He wasn't in a helicoper, he's a member of the aviator section. The paramedics and some of the pilots are sworn officers and they drive police cars.

The Sheetz is practically in the Frederick M.S.P. aviations back yard. No one is firing from helicopters.
