A New York state trooper thought to have been shot and killed by an escaped convict this week was actually killed by friendly fire, New York State Police announced Friday. Trooper David C. Brinkerhoff was shot twice -- first in his protective armor by the convict and then by another state trooper, Superintendent Preston Felton said. He added: "While it is clear that something went wrong, nothing can ever detract from the bravery and dedication of the men who entered that house."
