‘‘Pretty much what’s happening, when it comes to Phillips, we’re trading information back and forth with New York state police and other organizations involved as far as potential sightings, areas he might frequent, people he knows,’’ Morris said. ‘‘Todd Nelson was a acquaintance of Phillips. That information was traded back and forth.’’
Oh okay. I was wondering. I know the media doesn't always cover the local ins and out of a situation. From what I read the guy gun downed the trooper without thought.
