EASTON, Pa. (AP) — A 22-year-old man convicted of attempted murder for opening fire on two state troopers during a traffic stop last fall has been sentenced to up to 110 years in prison.
Daniel Clary shot and critically wounded 13-year veteran Cpl. Seth Kelly, who was helping another trooper arrest Clary in Northampton County. Clary had been pulled over for speeding and failed field sobriety tests.
A judge sentenced Clary on Friday to 55 ½ to 110 years in state prison. Kelly told Clary in court, "I pray you never get released."

The wild roadside battle was captured on a police dashcam video that was released to the public after trial.
