Tpr. Jacques F. Rougeau Jr. is the 104th member of the Pennsylvania State Police to give his life in the line of duty on Saturday, PSP said in at press conference in Harrisburg, PA, June 18, 2023.In his nearly 40 years as a member of the Pennsylvania State Police, Lt. Col. George Bivens said he's never witnessedmore intense than the one that erupted over the weekend with a suspect alleged to have ambushed and killed one trooper and critically wounded another.
Bivens said the rifle Stine allegedly used "would defeat any body armor" the officers he confronted were wearing. The violence unfolded about 11 a.m. Saturday when Stine drove his 2008 Chevrolet pickup truck into the parking lot of the state police Troop G barracks in Lewistown, Pennsylvania, got out of his vehicle and fired several shots at parked patrol cars before driving off. Surveillance cameras captured Stine firing his weapon in the parking lot and enabled police to obtain his license plate number and identify him as the registered owner and likely assailant, Paris said.
"There were people in the lot that were patronizing that business," said Bivens, who was in a police helicopter overhead directing the pursuit.
