Edward
Anderson, a 27-year-old Arizona state trooper, answered a call to check
out a report of gunfire on the freeway in a rural area near Tonopah.
When he arrived, he found a car overturned and woman who had been thrown
from the vehicle during the collision. As the trooper set up flares
around the vehicle, the suspect shot Anderson and started beating on
him. A passerby stopped and warned the suspect to stop assaulting the
state trooper. When his demand was ignored, he went to his car, got his
gun, and shot the suspect.
Col. Frank Milstead, director of the Public Safety Department said at some point the suspect started beating the trooper, who was unable to use his right arm to defend himself. That's when the motorist pulled up and opened fire on the suspect.
Yet another motorist stopped and used the police radio to call in the shooting.
