But that didn\u2019t stop the rookie Trooper from tracking down and pursuing 38-year-old Steven Snyder, who was armed with at least two handguns, nearly 150 rounds of ammunition and a manifesto stating his \u201cdesire to die while fighting.\u201d Ultimately, Casper and Snyder were both killed in a frenzied shootout, and now the DOJ has released the video footage chronicling the tragic incident.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier that day, Snyder had robbed a bank, shot a man in cold blood, and was fleeing down Highway 41 when Casper spotted him.<\/p>\n<p>Casper followed the suspect, but kept his lights and sirens off, waiting for backup before initiating a high-risk stop. But Snyder abruptly pulled a U-turn and engaged the Trooper.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe ambushed and fired on Trooper Casper while both the suspect and Trooper Casper were still seated in their respective vehicles,\u201d said Fond du Lac County District Attorney Eric Toney.<\/p>\n<p>Snyder was armed with a Glock .40-caliber pistol and an FN 5.7 pistol. Inside his car he also had a manifesto stating \u201chis willingness to die, desire to die while fighting, and lack of regret for his illegal actions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The shootout lasted only 17 seconds, but in that short time frame the two men exchanged 21 rounds of fire.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrevor Casper did more in 17 seconds than most will do in a lifetime and is undeniably a hero,\u201d said Toney.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, both Casper and Snyder succumbed to their wounds, but the heroic actions of the rookie Trooper helped put an end to Snyder\u2019s reign of terror.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrooper Casper was able to take out a threat that was prepared to inflict more devastation on citizens of Fond du Lac,\u201d said Col. Brian Rahn of the Wisconsin State Patrol.<\/p>\n<p>Fellow officers lauded Casper, and will remember him \u201cas a great person, and great cop, and someone we can look up to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The other videos are unlisted and have to be viewed on youtube.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tgU0_CBPgvM&amp;feature=player_embedded\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"doj-releases-footage-of-fatal-shootout-between-wi-state-trooper-suspect\" title=\"DOJ Releases Footage of Fatal Shootout Between WI State Trooper, Suspect\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tgU0_CBPgvM&amp;feature=player_embedded<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Ip7zz3CKWY4&amp;feature=player_embedded\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"doj-releases-footage-of-fatal-shootout-between-wi-state-trooper-suspect\" title=\"DOJ Releases Footage of Fatal Shootout Between WI State Trooper, Suspect\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Ip7zz3CKWY4&amp;feature=player_embedded<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=D3m_54Ha2wI&amp;feature=player_embedded\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"doj-releases-footage-of-fatal-shootout-between-wi-state-trooper-suspect\" title=\"DOJ Releases Footage of Fatal Shootout Between WI State Trooper, Suspect\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=D3m_54Ha2wI&amp;feature=player_embedded<\/a><\/p>\n<p>(<em>This article was a submission from freelance writer Brent Rogers<\/em>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The DOJ recently released video evidence documenting the events that led up to the fatal shootout between a rookie Wisconsin State Trooper and a hardened criminal bent on \u201csuicide by cop.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":40510,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,262,241,216,240],"tags":[132,291],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-40508","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gunsamerica-authors","8":"category-defensive-use-of-firearms","9":"category-rapid-fire","10":"category-s-h-blannelberry","11":"category-this-week","12":"tag-buzz","13":"tag-dgu"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>DOJ Releases Footage of Fatal Shootout Between WI State Trooper, Suspect<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The DOJ released video of the events that led up to the fatal shootout between a rookie WI Trooper and a hardened criminal bent on \u201csuicide by cop.\u201d\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/doj-releases-footage-of-fatal-shootout-between-wi-state-trooper-suspect\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"DOJ Releases Footage of Fatal Shootout Between WI State Trooper, Suspect\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The DOJ recently released video evidence documenting the events that led up to the fatal shootout between a rookie Wisconsin State Trooper and a hardened criminal bent on \u201csuicide by cop.\u201d\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/doj-releases-footage-of-fatal-shootout-between-wi-state-trooper-suspect\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2015-07-28T15:20:28+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-18T21:50:40+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/trooper.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
