Pennsylvania State Police concluded their end of the investigation in late December. According to the PSP investigation, Hammer was told numerous times to stop during a foot chase before he reversed course and came back around a bend while brandishing an 8″ bladed knife, the trooper “slipped and fell to his back at which time he fired his department issued handgun, striking Hammer.”
The DA’s results will be announced at a press conference tomorrow.
