That was at least 1/2 mile too long, unless he couldn't get to his weapon sooner.
I tried to find some information on this accident, but strangely the media has disclosed nothing, and it's all been heresay at this point...
I can only speculate that after being dragged a mile, I wouldn't have dead-on accuracy. Not to say it couldn't have been luck, but I'm skeptical. Of course, the guy on the ATV shouldn't have been running, given the circumstances.
" ummm... that was no accident. IIRC that guy DRAGGED the Trooper about a mile before he was shot to death."
Yes...it takes a real bright person to drag a state trooper instead of stopping and saying "yes officer."
It's too bad the guy is dead...but that guy is a candidate for the Darwin awards.
