On August 27, 2019, at approximately 8:30 am State Police in Hastings were dispatched by Oswego County 911 to the area of 3532 State Route 49 in the town of Hastings for a stolen vehicle complaint.

A Trooper located the stolen vehicle occupied by a 25-year-old male in the driveway of the residence. The Trooper was attempting to place the driver into custody when the driver physically resisted and fled into the residence.

Troopers located the suspect inside the residence at which point the suspect pointed, what appeared to be, a handgun at Troopers. A Trooper discharged his duty weapon striking the suspect multiple times.

Life lesson: your chances of being shot are much lower if you don't steal cars.

This happened not that far from my house. I figured something was going on when I saw a trooper fly by this morning. Haven't seen any since the fair opened and they are usually all over.
