A state trooper stopped to help a stranded motorist on Interstate 26 in
western North Carolina, and the driver responded by pulling a gun and
shooting the trooper, according to the N.C. Department of Public Safety.
The trooper survived and returned fire, killing the driver, the department
said in a news release.
It happened at 7:35 p.m. Monday, July 3, outside Asheville, near the NC
191 exit for the Blue Ridge Parkway, officials said. The area is about 130
miles northwest of Charlotte.
Investigators say Trooper Jeffrey L. Dunlap spotted “a stranded motorist
on I-26 westbound near the 33-mile marker” and pulled over to help.
“The motorist produced a firearm and fired, striking (him) in the chest,”
officials said.
“A round was stopped by the member’s ballistic vest and he was able to
return fire, striking the suspect. The suspect was pronounced deceased at
the scene.”
The driver was identified as Wesley Scott Taylor, 57, of Leicester, N.C.,
officials said.
Dunlap was taken to a hospital “and has since been released,” officials
said. He is a 13-year member of the department and is assigned to Buncombe
County, officials said.
“In accordance with agency protocol in any trooper-involved shooting, the
involved member will be placed on administrative duty,” the department
said.
“The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) is conducting an
independent investigation of the incident. Any further inquiries into this
incident should be directed to the SBI due to their separate ongoing
investigation.”
