Overview
A State Department employee was fatally shot by a trooper after a crash and subsequent stabbings on I-495; authorities say the women who were wounded did not know him. This Virginia case, along with a recent Cambridge incident in which a gunman opened fire on drivers and was shot by a trooper and a civilian, highlights a pattern of violent roadway confrontations that often involve troopers and raise questions about officer safety and the use of force during such encounters.
