TBI: Man shot and killed by park rangers after stealing truck

WILDERSVILLE, Tenn. (WDEF) – TBI special agents are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding an officer-involved shooting on Friday night involving a park ranger at Natchez Trace State Park.

According to the TBI, the incident began around 6:20 p.m., when firefighters and rangers responded to a vehicle fire on Natchez Trace Road near Lovell Trail.

The driver, who was identified as 26-year-old Bradley David Kondor, stole a ranger’s truck from the scene, and drove off.

Attempts to find the vehicle led rangers about a mile away to Natchez Trace Road near Shiloh Trail.

No law enforcement officers were hurt in the incident.
