DERRY TWP. (KDKA) -- A state trooper is recovering after allegedly being attacked by a man in Derry Township.

Troopers were called to the home of Brian Keith Will, 46, who was allegedly threatening to take his own life.

A witness said Will has a history of odd behavior.

Trooper Myers was treated and is back on duty. Brian Will is in the Westmoreland County Jail on $25,000 bond, charged with felony aggravated assault.
