MANCHESTER, N.H. —

A shooting in April on the Spaulding Turnpike in Dover involving a New Hampshire State Police trooper has been ruled justified.

The Attorney General's Office said Trooper Colin Burgess was legally justified in using deadly force against 28-year-old Moriah Infinjer.

Investigators said Burgess fired after Infinjer led police on a high-speed chase .

Troopers eventually stopped her car using a spike strip. Infinjer then allegedly got out of the car holding a dark object and pointed it at Burgess.
