Nassau County County Executive Bruce Blakeman visits shot State Trooper at Nassau University Medical Center
Trooper Thomas Mascia — who was hit in the leg on the Southern State Parkway near Exit 17 at about 11:30 p.m. last night — was in “good spirits” Thursday after his operation at Nassau University Medical Center, according to Nassay County Executive Bruce Blakeman.
“This trooper — his one and only intention was to help someone who appeared to need help,” State Police Major Stephen Eudice said at a Thursday press conference. Another trooper responded to the shooting call and brought Mascia to the hospital, where he had surgery on his wounded leg. “We are sickened by the actions of this cowardly individual who thought nothing of shooting a Trooper who was simply doing his job,” the statement said. “We thank the medical providers who are providing our brother with the care he needs, and we will support him as he makes what we hope is a speedy recovery.
