NY state trooper, parents charged in faked shooting on Southern State Parkway, DA says | News 12

A former New York State Police trooper wounded by a gunshot on the Southern State Parkway has turned himself in following a monthslong investigation. Thomas Mascia claimed he was shot while on the Southern State Parkway in October, but Nassau District Attorney Anne Donnelly says Mascia actually shot himself and lied about a supposed shooter. Mascia is facing charges of tampering with physical evidence, falsifying reporting a crime and official misconduct. Thomas and Dorothy Mascia, his parents, are facing charges of criminal possession of a firearm. Donnelly and state police broke down the case, the investigation and the charges in this news conference from Jan. 27, 2025.
