PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The mother of a slain state trooper has sued the former Pennsylvania State Police firearms instructor who accidentally shot her son last year.
The (Allentown) Morning Call reports that Joan Kedra filed the federal lawsuit in Philadelphia against Richard Schroeter.
Schroeter was sentenced last month to two weeks in jail, followed by three to 18 months of house arrest after pleading guilty to reckless endangerment in the death of 26-year-old Trooper David Kedra.
Prosecutors say Schroeter failed to ensure his weapon was unloaded and didn’t keep it pointed away from Kedra who was with four other troopers in a firearms class.
