Just found this via a news item on Yahoo:

JUNEAU, Alaska (Reuters) - Two Alaska State Troopers, who have been featured in a reality TV show, were killed while investigating a report of a person brandishing a gun in a remote village, officials said on Friday.

The two troopers killed on Thursday, Sergeant Patrick Johnson and Trooper Gabriel Rich, worked for a rural services unit and had appeared on the National Geographic Channel's reality television show "Alaska State Troopers."

RIP. I cannot imagine what it would be like to never have back up.

Maine has some remote areas, but Alaska has all too many places where even if the backup arrives by air, it might not be in time.

RIP, Troopers.
