Motorist who aided wounded trooper recalls fear, confusion

Some new information in this article, it appears there was a second good samaritan who arrived on scene to assist.
Brian Schober, a 44-year-old systems engineer, told The Associated Press that he saw the trooper's vehicle parked in a traffic lane marked with flares when he first came upon the nighttime scene.
He said he didn't think twice about stopping when the motorist who had shot the attacker flagged him down.
"It looks wrong with a civilian flagging down a car when there's an officer there something's wrong," Schober said, recalling his reaction. "But what can I do? There's no time to think."
The former volunteer emergency medical technician said both wounded men were on the pavement along with a woman who authorities say was fatally injured after being ejected from the attacker's vehicle when it rolled over earlier.

Now we have a grammar hog. I wonder if you enjoy people laughing at your slight mistakes

Strong gun regulations make a safer society, not weasel words like "freedom and responsibility"

The guy who was trying to kill the uniformed cop would have been a good guess though
