Franconia Police Officer Fatally Shot; Suspect Also Killed
Officials Say Officer Was Shot Four Times

POSTED: 3:48 pm EDT May 12, 2007

FRANCONIA, N.H. -- A Franconia police officer was shot and killed during a routine motor vehicle stop on Friday.

The state attorney general's office says Cpl. Bruce McKay, 48, was shot four times and run over by the suspect's car on Route 116 in Franconia. McKay was a 12-year veteran of the Franconia Police Department.

The state attorney general's office says the incident began Friday night when McKay attempted to pull over Liko Kenney on Route 116. Kenney took off, leading McKay on a brief pursuit.

Investigators say when McKay stopped Kenney a second time a mile up the road, he used pepper spray to subdue him. According to police, that's when Kenney shot the officer four times and the proceeded to run the officer over with his car.

State Attorney General Kelly Ayotte said a passer-by, Gregory Floyd, 49, witnessed the incident and rushed to the officer's aid. Investigators say Floyd grabbed McKay's gun and ordered Kenney to drop his weapon. According to Senior Assistant Attorney General Jeff Strelzin, Floyd fatally shot Kenney when he tried to reload his gun.

Ayotte said the state has decided Floyd's actions were justified and he will not be facing any charges.

According to police, there was a previous incident involving McKay and Kenney. Back in 2003, Kenney was convicted of simple assault and resisting arrest for an incident involving McKay.

Family members said Kenney was ski champion Bode Miller's cousin. Back in September 2005, McKay pulled Bode Miller over on Route 116 for going 83 mph in a 40 mph zone.

As of Saturday afternoon, Miller did not return any calls to comment about the incident.

Friday night, Gov. John Lynch ordered all flags be lowered to half staff. He also visited with first responders in Franconia on Saturday who spent the night investigating McKay's death.

He said, "My thoughts and prayers, and those of my wife, Susan, are with the family of the New Hampshire police officer killed this evening while serving the people of our state."

The last police officer killed in the line of duty was Manchester Officer Michael Briggs, who was shot and killed in October 2006.

Weird story. Cool that the guy came to the officer's aid, albiet too late.

What the hell does Bod Miller have to do with it? That part is just retarded.

It is weird... for some reason, I think theres more to that story than they are reporting....

two guys grow up in a small town, one goes into LE and the other doesnt...

I wonder if the cop was harrassing the guy and the guy decided to get even... kinda ironic they both ended up dead together...

Yeah, what appears to be missing is that the perp was your typical scumbag POS. Here's an article in today's NY Times:

Here's an article from yesterday that explains the connection to Bode Miller a little bit better:
