*IN THE LINE OF DUTY* OFFICER DOWN
Sad and maddening incident, Donovan.

42 RIP Trooper Christopher Skinner, 42. 42

Mr. Skinner was from the Sidney barracks in Delaware County and was a 13-year veteran. The Binghamton resident is survived by his fiancee and two children, ages 12 and 15.

Mr. Skinner is the 15th member of the New York State Police to die in the line of duty since 2006, and is the fifth line-of-duty death in the last 10 months, said the Police Benevolent Association of the New York State Troopers.

^ This is Upton, the killer. He was taken into custody an hour after the murder when a police dog tracked him into nearby woods, where he was found naked.

Police said he didn't appear to be drunk or on drugs. He admitted to police that he deliberately swerved his pickup truck from the left passing lane to the right shoulder to hit Trooper Christopher Skinner while in route to visit his mom in Connecticut.

Sounds and looks to me like Upton may be schizophrenic or have some other form of mental illness. If so, doesn't make Skinner's murder any less sad and maddening.
