Shock As Kenyan Man Kills An American State Police In The Line Of Duty (Photos)
Police vehicles lined the streets of Boston with their lights flashing as the body of their fallen colleague was being ferried to the medical examiner’s office.
The death of Thomas Clardy has taken the state of Massachusetts by storm. The fallen state police was killed yesterday in the line of duty by a Kenyan man.
44 year old Clardy served in US Marine Corps before joining The Massachusetts State Police in April 2005.
Clardy was killed when he was returning to his vehicle after issuing a ticket to a speeding motorist. A Kenyan, 30 year old David Njuguna of Webster, rammed his Nissan Maxima into the rear of Clardy’s SUV.
The American cop didn’t survive the incident, he died minutes later as he was being rushed to the hospital.
The Wednesday afternoon incident brought traffic on the Massachusetts Turnpike highway to a standstill. Witness say Njuguna was speeding when he crossed to another lane crashing into Clardy’s car and killing him.
Massachusetts State Police says Njugana was involved in another accident in 2012 and his license had also been suspended in 2013 for refusing to take a breathalyzer test.
The Kenyan faces charges of negligent operation of a motor vehicle and failure to stay in marked lanes. He survived the accident and was airlifted to UMass Medical Center with serious injuries. Meanwhile the dead American cop is survived with a wife, Reisa, and six kids aged 4 to 17.
