Pennsylvania



Pennsylvania Trooper Landon Weaver, 25, was killed Dec. 30, 2016 near Altoona. Weaver was responding to a reported violation of a protection-from-abuse order when he was shot. RIP.

For nearly 18 hours after the shooting at 6:30 p.m., a manhunt for the suspect, identified as Jason Robison, 32, involved law enforcement across Huntingdon County.

Eventually, shortly before 11 a.m. Saturday, state police tweeted that Robison was deceased. "Troopers encountered Weaver at an unoccupied mobile home not far from his residence," the statement said. "Robison refused commands to surrender, made threats to harm additional law enforcement personnel, and was shot and killed in the ensuing confrontation."

Robison (pictured right) had an extensive criminal record dating back to 2005; he was freed on bail earlier this month for charges apparently involving a stolen vehicle in October, according to court records.
