New York State Police have suspended Trooper Thomas Mascia, who reported being shot last Wednesday on Long Island while attempting to assist a stranded driver on the Southern State Parkway.
A New York State Trooper who was reportedly shot last week while attempting to assist a stranded driver has been suspended. Officials say Thomas Mascia, who was allegedly shot on the Southern State Parkway, has been suspended after an investigation by the Nassau County District Attorney’s office uncovered inconsistencies in his account of the incident.
However, discrepancies in his statement prompted authorities to cancel the search for the vehicle, which was previously the subject of a state-wide "Be on the Lookout" alert.In connection with the investigation, a search warrant was executed at Mascia's residence, according to New York State Police. Details surrounding what investigators uncovered during the search have not been disclosed.
