Note:
Before we
get into what happened, be advised that this suspect is
extremely dangerous. He has actually shot three
officers this year. Back on the 10th of June,
Ralph "Bucky" Phillips shot New York State Trooper Sean
Brown who survived after being struck in the abdomen as
he approached a stolen car.
Additionally, the current incident appears to be an
unprovoked ambush, so Phillips may be targeting law
officers. |

What
Happened: |
The shooting
took place on Thursday, August 31, 2006. The
Associated Press gave a good account of the incident:
FREDONIA,
N.Y. — Two state troopers staking out the home of an escaped
convict's ex-girlfriend were shot in an ambush, and
authorities Friday were searching the surrounding area for
the fugitive.
Neither
trooper saw the suspect when they were shot Thursday
evening, and neither returned fire, but one was able to
radio for help, State Police Superintendent Wayne Bennett
said. Both officers were hospitalized in critical condition.
"It's clear to me the troopers were ambushed," Bennett said.
From CNN:
One trooper
was hit in the back with a bullet that penetrated his
bullet-resistant vest, Bennett said. The other was shot
in the thigh and suffered massive blood loss from a
severed artery.
The troopers
never saw it coming, Bennett said, and did not return
fire.
Phillips, who escaped from
jail back in April, is believed to be traveling between New
York and Pennsylvania. Since his escape, Phillips is
the suspect in at least 15 car thefts, numerous burglaries,
and a theft at a gun store.
