State trooper shoots armed man during domestic dispute in Rochester

A man remains in critical but stable condition after being shot by a New York State Trooper during a domestic dispute involving a firearm in the Town of Rochester on Sunday, November 8.

Upon arrival, troopers encountered the armed man, who was reportedly behaving erratically, making suicidal statements and refusing verbal commands. During the encounter, a trooper fired one round from a department-issued weapon, striking the man. Troopers and Ulster County Sheriff’s deputies immediately provided medical aid before the man was transported to Ellenville Regional Hospital and later airlifted to Westchester Medical Center. Police identified the man’s weapon as a loaded Taurus 9mm pistol. The investigation remains ongoing.
