Around 7:45 p.m. on the evening of June 7, 2009, Nazareth PA police received a report of a 31-year-old man with a gun violating a protection from abuse order.

The man, who was involved in a custody battle with his wife, kidnapped his nine-year-old son at gunpoint and led police on a 40-mile high speed chase.

Pennsylvania State Troopers Joshua Miller and Robert Lombardo chased down the suspect and the pursuit abruptly ended when Trooper Miller used the PIT maneuver to stop the vehicle.

Concerned for the safety of the child, the two troopers approached the vehicle and began to shatter the driver’s side window when the suspect opened fire striking both Troopers Miller and Lombardo.

Trooper Miller was killed and Trooper Lombardo was seriously injured.
