He was charged last weekend with two counts of attempted first-degree murder, multiple counts of aggravated assault, three counts of endangerment and resisting arrest.

King hasn’t entered a plea yet.

Arizona Department of Public Safety officials say 24-year-old Trooper Tyler Edenhofer was fatally shot during a struggle involving several troopers and King, who was suspected of throwing rocks at vehicles.

King is accused of shooting Edenhofer with another trooper’s gun.
