**Troopers shot in Catskills, manhunt continues**
**POSTED: 11:20 a.m. EDT, April 25, 2007**
var clickExpire = “05/25/2007”; **Story Highlights**
• Two New York state troopers are shot in Catskills mountain community
• Suspect was being sought in shooting of another trooper
• Injured troopers flown by helicopter to hospital
• Three New York state troopers were shot – one fatally – by fugitive last year
**MARGARETVILLE, New York** (AP) – Two state troopers were shot Wednesday morning in this Catskill Mountains community as police closed in on a suspect in the shooting of another trooper hours earlier, authorities said.
The troopers were flown by helicopter to a hospital, said Maureen Tuffey, a spokeswoman for the state police in Albany. She did not describe the extent of their injuries.
The hunt for the suspect started after Trooper Matthew Gombosi was shot in the torso during a traffic stop in the Margaretville area on Tuesday. Police said his body armor saved him from serious injury.
The shootings in the Margaretville area, about 65 miles southwest of Albany, were the latest in a difficult year for New York State Police.
_Three troopers were shot – one fatally – last year by fugitive Ralph “Bucky” Phillips_ before the jail escapee was captured in September.
Another trooper was gunned down by a bank robber in March near Elmira. Last April, a trooper died in a crash near Syracuse while chasing a speeding motorcyclist.

Screw bringing him in for a prison term. One shot between the eyes.
Blame it on a defective trigger, but good aim :eyebrow:

I’m still surprised that none of the cops yelled “stop resisting” and popped him as bucky came walking out of the cornfield with his arms in the air.

Looks like the guy diaf. Waiting for proof, but looks like one less POS we have to house, feed, and read interviews about in the Times.

Just watched the news…they confirmed they have found the shooters charred, dead body holding a shotgun inside a house…good.
