Around 1:15 a.m., a trooper was on patrol when a red 2014 Hyundai Veloster sped past the trooper. The trooper tried to pull the Hyundai over, but the driver did not stop. The trooper pursued for about nine minutes. The driver of the vehicle, Joseph Bernhard-William Kiser, got out of the vehicle with a .357 revolver and began walking toward the trooper. The trooper took cover behind the patrol vehicle and reportedly ordered Kiser to drop the weapon. Kiser did not follow the trooper's instructions, and the trooper then shot three times, killing Kiser.
