North East man shot, killed by New York state trooper Saturday
A 38-year-old North East man was shot and killed by a New York state trooper Saturday in Buffalo during a traffic stop.
Spectrum News 1 in Buffalo reported James Huber was shot as he tried to flee police. Trooper Anthony Nigro, a 14-year veteran, was reaching into Huber’s vehicle as Huber put the car into reverse, briefly dragging Nigro, who opened fire.
Huber died at the scene after his vehicle backed into a highway ramp and then overturned, New York State Police Maj. Carla Dirienzo said during a news conference, Spectrum 1 reported.
Huber’s vehicle was spotted driving “erratically” on a Buffalo highway Saturday morning. Troopers attempted to stop Huber, who was driving at speeds up to 100 miles per hour. They ended their pursuit when Huber exited Interstate 90 in Buffalo and struck a squad car, Spectrum News 1 reported.

FIRST, and on a Two fer two day.
Nice shottie. But at $1200? No thx, I’ll pass.
I suppose that the weapons of this type are for those who want to store them, bringing them out for bragging sessions. I prefer a more usable weapon, one I can fire every day, get a scratch or three on it, and just grab it and go.
Not so! I take my DP-12 to the range just about every weekend. It’s a bitch to clean, however. 😀
If that configuration is desired, you can buy the Kel-Tec version for about $800. But the early version had some cycling problems that supposedly have been fixed.
A twofer DRT and a nice street sweeping shoulder fired Artillery Piece? Life is good on this Hump Day.
