PHOENIX -- A man with a history of mental illness used the gun of an Arizona state trooper to shoot and kill a rookie officer in training and wound another two troopers during a fight along an interstate in suburban Phoenix last Thursday.
Police identified the slain officer as 24-year-old Tyler Edenhofer. Rest in peace.
The shooting occurred after troopers responded to reports of a person throwing rocks late Wednesday at vehicles on Interstate 10 roughly 15 miles west of downtown Phoenix. A struggle followed with a third trooper who was not shot, but injured.

Officers took 20-year-old Isaac D. King ^, of Avondale, into custody and transported him to a hospital, where he remained Thursday. Authorities would not say why he was hospitalized. King was on medication for anxiety and depression and had no criminal record.
"We've talked to his parents, his mother particularly, who has been cooperative and thought he was in the backyard during this event. She said at about 9:30 p.m., he'd been outside on the trampoline," Col. Frank Milstead, director of the Arizona Department of Public Safety, said.
