The area is about 65 miles north of Philadelphia.Captain Rich D'Ambrosio, of the Pennsylvania State Police, said Sieple pulled over 22-year-old Daniel Khalil Clary for speeding. According to police, Clary was issued a ticket. Before the trooper pulled away, they say Clary got out of his car and flagged down the trooper. Sieple instructed Clary to get back into his car and observed evidence of marijuana inside the vehicle. They say Sieple thought Clary might be under the influence of a narcotic and called Kelly for backup. Both troopers issued a field sobriety test, which Clary failed. Sieple and Kelly then attempted to arrest Clary for DUI."At this point, (the suspect) begins to violently resist arrest. The troopers were in a knock-down, drag-out fight along the side of the road with vehicles speeding by them. It got very, very violent. I saw the confrontation on video already and it was a very violent fight," D'Ambrosio said.Clary was tazed, but police say it did not have an effect. At some point, Clary got away from the troopers, went back to his car and got a gun, according to D'Ambrosio. "(He) takes the weapon out and fires several shots at both of our troopers. One of our troopers was struck several times. Our troopers were able to return fire on the subject, striking him multiple times as well," D'Ambrosio said. "Even after being shot, the subject was able to get back in his vehicle and he drove himself away from the scene."Clary drove himself to Easton Hospital. He was taken to Lehigh Valley Cedar Crest campus from there and underwent surgery.Kelly was shot three times and critically injured. Police say he fell over a guardrail during the incident. At some point, Kelly applied his belt as a tourniquet. He underwent surgery at St. Luke's in Bethlehem Tuesday afternoon. He is expected to undergo another surgery. D'Ambrosio said the trooper is in critical, but stable, condition. Police say Clary is facing multiple charges. They say he will be arraigned at his hospital bedside.Gov. Tom Wolf released the following statement:“Frances and I are praying for this trooper, the family and every member of the Pennsylvania State Police. This senseless act of violence is a reminder of the sacrifices made daily by all our brave men and women in uniform. Across Pennsylvania, our troopers are keeping communities safe by putting themselves in harm’s way. We must never forget that. I ask all Pennsylvanians to join us in keeping all those affected, especially the corporal, in their thoughts today.”Stay with WGAL for updates on this developing story.
