JULY 3, 2023 - According to the North Carolina Department of Transportation, all lanes of Interstate 26 West and the left lane of I-26 East were closed about 7:45 p.m.
ASHEVILLE, N.C. (WLOS) — UPDATE:
Just after 1:00 a.m. North Carolina Highway Patrol Troopers sent a press release giving more information on an incident that shutdown I-26 for hours Monday night.
Troopers say at about 7:35 p.m. Monday evening Trooper Jeffrey Dunlap stopped to assist a stranded motorist along I-26 westbound near mile maker 33.
The press release says 57-year-old Wesley Taylor of Leicester produced a gun and fired at Dunlap striking the trooper in the chest.
The trooper's ballistic vest stopped the bullet and Dunlap returned fire, killing Taylor.
According to the release, Trooper Dunlap is a thirteen-year veteran assigned to Buncombe County. He was transported to a local hospital for observation and has since been released.
In accordance with agency protocol in any trooper-involved shooting, the involved member will be placed on administrative duty. 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.

Well, normally on here there would be arguments about whether it was a "good shoot" but.....

Do stupid things, win stupid prizes. He is a State Trooper, might be part of the job description to assist stranded motorist in his coverage area.

Drunk and/or stoned, or just hates cops? No matter what his reason was for shooting, there's no early release from the graveyard! He was too dumb to "use enough gun" to defeat a ballistic vest!
Ignorance can be fixed. Stupid is forever!

"His demeanor is what got him killed"-- from the news video. I suppose shooting the State Trooper is his demeanor. Not a common way to say that.
