A Rhode Island man is in critical condition following a police-involved shooting

A Rhode Island man is in critical condition following a police-involved shooting in the Northeast Kingdom. Vermont State Police say there was an arrest warrant out for Brendan Sackal, 30, of Hopkinton, Rhode Island, for possession of high-capacity firearm magazines. Troopers say they were notified Sackal may be headed north from Rhode Island Sunday night, and he was stopped in Pittsburg, New Hampshire. Police say he drove away from that stop, leading officers on a nearly 60-mile chase. Near the Canadian border, troopers say the border patrol used spike strips due to concerns Sackal would cross the border. He didn’t, but police followed him all the way to Pinkham Road in Burke. State police say they tried to stop him and he hit two cruisers and lost control. During an attempted arrest, police say Sackal fired a gun at troopers, and two returned fire, injuring him. Sackal is in critical condition being treated for injuries that are not life-threatening at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. State police have not yet identified the troopers involved, but they are now on paid leave during the investigation.
