Trooper Landon Weaver, 23, was responding to an alleged violation of a protection-from-abuse order at a home that is reportedly the residence of Robison’s mother when Robison fatally shot him.

Weaver joined the Pennsylvania State Police in December 2015. He is the 97th trooper to die in the line of duty since the department was founded in 1905, police said.
