Police release details surrounding trooper struck by vehicle
BINGHAMTON – On Wednesday, New York State Police released additional details in regards to the trooper that was struck by a suspect's vehicle in Binghamton on Tuesday.
According to a release from New York State Police Troop C Commander Major William F. McEvoy, at approximately 5:05 p.m. on Tuesday, troopers initiated the pursuit of a 2017 Ford Fusion on Mitchell Avenue in the City of Binghamton.
Police say the vehicle was operated by James A. Giacalone, 36, of Glen Aubrey, NY, who was wanted on an active warrant of arrest.
Upon attempting to pull Giacalone over, Giacalone attempted to flee, crashing his vehicle into a utility pole on Alfred Street.
"In an attempt to escape, Giacalone backed his vehicle down Alfred Street, across Conklin Avenue, and into a parking lot where he stopped," states a release from NYSP.
"As the troopers approached the vehicle, Giacalone suddenly accelerated forward, striking one of the pursuing troopers."
The release continues, "That member discharged one round from his division-issued sidearm. Giacalone received a gunshot wound to the face, but continued to flee in his vehicle.
"He was located on foot a short distance away by responding law enforcement and was taken into custody."
Both Giacalone and the injured trooper were taken to Wilson Hospital for treatment of their injuries. The injured trooper was treated and released, and Giacalone was transferred to Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, PA, and is in stable condition.
As the investigation remains ongoing, NYSP are asking the public for any witnesses or information related to the incident to call (607) 775-1241.
NYSP were assisted by the Binghamton Police Department, Broome County Sheriff's Department, Endicott Police Department, FBI, Broome County District Attorney, and Superior Ambulance in the investigation.
