On Saturday, Alaska State Troopers identified the officers involved in a Dec. 7 shooting that injured a suspect.
The four troopers are Lt. Dane Gilmore, Sgt. Jeremy Grieme, Sgt. Michael Zweifel and David Lorring. All have several years of experience with the Alaska Department of Public Safety, according to an online trooper dispatch, and Gilmore has more than 20 years of service with the force.
Troopers did not specify which of the officers injured the suspect, 37-year-old Brian Tupper, stating only that they all discharged their weapons.
The shooting occurred when troopers attempted to take Tupper into custody on felony warrants just before 1 p.m.
“As troopers were forming a perimeter to contact Tupper, Tupper drove a vehicle at an Alaska State Trooper and multiple troopers fired their service weapons in response,” troopers wrote of the incident. “Tupper was stuck by gunfire.”
Tupper underwent treatment of his injuries and is expected to survive.
None of the troopers were injured during the shooting.
The Alaska Bureau of Investigation is looking into the actions of the troopers, who were all placed on administrative leave for 72 hours per department policy.
The post Troopers involved in shooting with suspect identified appeared first on KTVA 11.
