Statement from U.S. Attorney Andrew E. Lelling on the Shooting of Andre Sterling
“Early this morning law enforcement officers, executing a fugitive warrant issued by this office, exchanged gunfire with suspect Andre Sterling, who was wanted for shooting a Massachusetts State Trooper last week. Two Deputy U.S. Marshals were shot and are now hospitalized. Sterling is dead.
At a time of constant, opportunistic, and absurd anti-police rhetoric, this is today's reminder of the sacrifices law enforcement officers make every day to keep us safe.â€
