New York State police searched vehicles in Fredonia, N.Y., on Thursday evening.
From the WKBW site:
"Aug 31, 2006 - Several police sources have confirmed to 7 News that a state trooper has been killed and another officer seriously wounded, apparently while trying to execute an arrest warrant connected to the search for fugitive Ralph Phillips.
There is a massive police presence in the area of Bachelor Hill Road in Chattaqua County and there are numerous reports of multiple gun shots.
Reporter John Borsa is at the state police barracks in Fredonia where he has been given no official confirmation but has been told the State Police Superintendent is on his way from Albany.
Reporter Steve Barber is at Brooks Memorial Hospital where he reports at least one police officer is being air lifted to ECMC in Buffalo. "

Another mental pygmy criminal ... I hope this POS is wasted when the cops finally catch up with him.
Some of "Bucky's" relatives were recently released after being charged with aiding and abetting his escape from capture. If this has led to the killing and injuries to more cops, these people are definitely liable.
Some of the local media seem to be trying to ascribe "folk hero" status to this scum -- it's simply disgusting...
Very sad about the trooper. My prayers go out to both of them and their families.
Dang, that's a real shame. Prayers go out for the loved ones of the slain trooper. May God comfort them and give them strength in the difficult days ahead. Prayers go out for the wounded trooper that he makes a complete recovery, and I pray that they catch this murderer before anyone else gets hurt.
"and that another trooper was taken to Hamot Medical Center in Pennsylvania"
I have two cousins working as nurses in that hospital and one in the ER.
I hope they get that scum bag once and for all. I have a feeling that this incident does not bode well for gun ownership in NY State. Particularly with the likely election of the likes of Spitzer and Cuomo.
reward up to $225K now.
report says "the officers were watching his ex-girlfriends house". so, that means she was hiding him?
Could he be using alias names?

THe guy looks creepy in the pics just posted.
The National news show a pic of a guy that resembles a freind possibly of Larry the Cable Guy.
Hope he is serving life time in a dark dank place asap.
Bucky boy better give himself up. he will go out in a blaze of fire.
Even folks that live around his neighborhood are going armed. They don't want hom around.
It is evident that not everyone can handle freedom, this guy in particular.He is now cornered next to a golf course in a heavily wooded area. I doubt he will surrender, hopefuly no other cops get shot, hopefuly he will not go to trial.
