1:06Now PlayingA motive was under investigation Monday into the fatal shooting of a Pennsylvania state trooper who was gunned down during a traffic stop Sunday night by an alleged erratic driver who died at the scene by suicide, authorities said.
The trooper was identified by authorities as Cpl. Timothy O'Connor Jr., a 15-year-veteran of the Pennsylvania State Police.
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said the 40-year-old O'Connor, a married father of a young daughter, was killed "doing what he dedicated his life to and that is serving others, keeping our community safe, looking out for his fellow Pennsylvanians."
