A Coconino County Grand Jury has indicted Terrell Storey on two counts of first-degree murder in connection with the deaths of two Arizona Department of Public Safety troopers while assisting local police during a shooting.

The indictment also alleges numerous additional victims, including 25 law enforcement officers who responded to the scene, as well as residents of the homes in the surrounding area.

Officials allege that Storey was armed with a long rifle, and opened fire on responding officers as well as the victim. He was allegedly firing and moving across rooftops in the area.

“Our hearts remain with the families of Hunter Bennett and Robert Skankey, and with all the families impacted by this incident,” said County Attorney Ammon Barker. “We are committed to pursuing this case with the diligence and care it requires.”

Earlier this week, the County Attorney’s Office filed a criminal complaint containing 50 counts. The case was later presented to a Grand Jury, which returned the 60-count indictment.
