todayJuly 30, 2015

The Fond du Lac County District Attorney says a nearly one thousand page DOJ report on the fatal shooting of a state patrol trooper in Fond du Lac shows how quickly the entire incident unfolded.  Video footage shows law enforcement squad cars converging  on a grocery store parking lot…all within seconds of each other as Tropper Trevor Casper and bank robbery suspect Steven Snyder exchanged gunfire. District attorney Eric Toney says the report shows that a woman in another car was right there when the shooting began.  “Trever was making these decisions in such a short time frame.  He wasn’t acting like a trooper that was out there on his first day, you would have thought that he was a 10. 15. 20 year seasoned veteran and he made multiple heroic decisions in those 17 seconds,”  Toney told AM 1170 WFDL’s Between the Lines program.  The report also included a rambling manifesto from Snyder where he wrote that he would rather die than go to prison.
