Around 5 a.m. on Sunday, police responded to the family's 911 calls about Burks. They said he was armed and they were concerned for other people's safety. He was also carrying a folding knife, which White said had an 8-inch blade on it.
The trooper, a 10-year veteran of the force, was taken to the hospital after he was hit multiple times in the body. His condition was initially reported as critical.
