@PAAttorneyGen What?

In Nov 2008 PA Trooper Jay Splain was honored at a county LE banquet as a hero, the officer of the year. The reason: He had shot and killed a suicidal man who allegedly pointed an Uzi submachine gun at him

That was the first killing

Splain went on to fatally shoot 3 more in separate incidents, an extraordinary tally for an officer resp for patrolling largely rural areas with low rates of violent crime. All 4 who died were troubled, struggling with drugs, mental illness or both. In two cases, incl that of the
man with the Uzi, family members had called the police for help because their relatives had threatened to kill themselves.
