On the morning of March 20, 2016, Danny Mack Crouse, 55, a turnpike employee who had worked at the Fort Littleton interchange for about three months, was shot and killed during an attempted robbery at the toll plaza. The fatal encounter began when Clarence Briggs, 55, a retired Pennsylvania State Police trooper, allegedly tried to bind Crouse and another employee inside an office. A struggle followed and Briggs fled the building.

As an armored vehicle arrived to collect toll money, Crouse approached and Briggs opened fire, fatally wounding Crouse and also killing 72-year-old security guard Ronald Heist. Briggs then continued shooting at the armored truck, forced entry, drove it to a nearby vehicle and began transferring cash. A state trooper who was first on scene exchanged gunfire with Briggs; Briggs was shot and later died. The Fulton County coroner ruled Crouse’s death a homicide; Briggs’s death was later ruled a justifiable homicide.

Does anyone have information about the events at the Fort Littleton toll plaza that morning or knew Danny Crouse?
