Trooper Pelliter leaves behind a wife and two children.

Trooper Pelliter also leaves behind his canine police dog who was in the car with him but was not injured.

According to those that knew him, his goal in life was to become a Connecticut State Trooper.
 
Awful to hear, glad they caught the perp though. I hope they throw the book at them
