"My Brother's Life Is Only Worth Two Weeks?" Firearms Expert Sentenced, Report Says

A former firearms expert with the Pennsylvania State Police will spend two weeks behind bars for a Plymouth Township shooting accident that claimed the life of another Trooper, according to a report in The Intelligencer.

Upper Providence man Richard L. Schroeter, 43, was convicted for the death of Trooper David Kedra and for the reckless endangerment of four other troopers, the report states.

“Two weeks? My brother’s life is just worth two weeks?” Christine Kedra, the victim’s sister, shouted upon hearing the sentencing in court, according to the report.

Schroeter was training Kedra and the other troopers in September 2014 at Plymouth’s Montgomery County Public Safety complex when the incident occurred.
