Trooper spotted a rollover accident, stopped to investigate and began blocking off the scene. It appears at this point that he was ambushed. "In the initial confrontation, the suspect shoots the trooper in the shoulder and right chest area.

The gunman then attacked the trooper with his hands, bashing his head into the pavement. That's when the passing motorist stopped. Trooper said please help me. The motorist removes his own weapon from the vehicle, confronts the suspect, giving him orders to stop assaulting the officer. The suspect refuses. The uninvolved third party fires, striking and killing the suspect." Few other details were immediately available because the investigation was still in its early stages.

The woman who was ejected in the rollover crash died from her injuries, authorities said. The cause of the wreck was not known.

Arizona has a “defense of third person” law that allows someone to use deadly force against another who is threatening or injuring a third person. It was not unusual that the passing driver was armed in this gun-friendly state with loose regulations.

well, I do think we need law and order, bashing his head into the pavement(?!!!) on top of shooting him?!-

not that I necessarily agree with every joe and jane carrying weapons and pulling them out at will-

BUT IN THIS CASE, right on!

It does send a signal that chaos will not be tolerated, sometimes I think things are getting chaotic.
Where are those drones when we need them?

It might not be a magnet for violent criminals that highly regulated areas are. Like Chicago maybe ?

What would really be great is if Trump personally called the 'good Samaritan' and thanked him. Or invited him to the Inauguration! It would be an excellent way for Trump to show his support for our men in blue and, at the same time; show his respect for people that go that extra mile and endanger their own lives to save others.

Where is the suspect being buried so we can pay our respects and urinate on his grave?

Black LivesOnly Matter if killed by a cop and Obama must be very sad.
