| State Police, shooting victim agree to dismiss lawsuit
By Joel Ebert, Federal Courts Reporter for the Gazette-mail
Seven years after being shot in the head by a West Virginia state trooper, Stephen Shawn Krein has finally ended a long legal battle with the State Police.
Attorneys for the State Police and Krein on Monday agreed to dismiss a lawsuit originally filed by Krein in December 2010.
The agreement will result in the State Police paying for several accommodations being made for Krein, after he was shot and, as a result, subsequently confined to a wheelchair.
Krein's lawsuit, which was filed in Kanawha County Circuit Court, stemmed from an incident that occurred a few years prior.
At around 9 p.m. on Dec. 1, 2008, Troopers L.W. Price and W.S. Snyder spotted Krein sitting inside a white Chevrolet Silverado in the parking lot of a convenience store near the intersection of U.S. 119 and Ambler Ridge Road. The area is located in between the unincorporated Roane County communities of Walton and Cotton.
