SALT LAKE CITY, Utah — Law enforcement officers from Montana and Utah were keeping watch Saturday in the Salt Lake City hospital where Montana Highway Patrol trooper Wade Palmer was airlifted after being shot early Friday morning during a manhunt in Evaro.

While in Utah on Saturday, Montana Attorney General Tim Fox said the support for Palmer, as well as three people believed to have been shot by the same suspect, was immense.

“It takes a rare kind of individual to serve the public in any capacity, but certainly in those roles of law enforcement, fire service, first responders and others, whenever they’re called, they run to trouble,” Fox told the Missoulian in a phone interview. “No one knows better than law enforcement in general the risk they take. We have to be cognizant of that and have to honor not only them but their families and never forget them.”
