Trooper
Sepp,34, succumbed to a gunshot wound received the previous day
at 0230 hours following a vehicle pursuit. Local officers had
stopped a man suspect of drunk driving in Summerhill.
When the officers noticed the man had a gun, they ordered him
out of the car. He instead fled in the car and led officers on a
pursuit until he crashed into a patrol car and utility pole in
Ebensburg. When the suspect's vehicle crashed, the patrol units
stopped in close proximity. The suspect exited his car and
opened fire, striking Trooper Sepp in the head. Other officers
returned fire and struck the suspect. Trooper Sepp was
transported to Memorial Medical Center where he succumbed to his
wound. The suspect was charged with murder in connection with
Trooper Sepp's death. He was convicted of first-degree murder on
December 10, 2003. He was sentenced to life on December 11,
2003.
Trooper Sepp had been with the Pennsylvania State Police for ten
years and is survived by his wife, daughter, and two sons.
