Hisghman Gets!
State' Police Trooper Rufus E. Hisghman. stationed in Warrenton, was presented the Kevlar Survivors Club Award May 12 by Col. Robert L. Suthard, State Police Superintendent. in a ceremony at administrative headquarters in Richmond.
The award, co-sponsored by Dupont and the International Association of Chiefs of Police, is given to officers who survive a shooting while wearing Kevlar body armor.
Trooper Hisghman was shot in the collarbone and right chest area last year by a 12-gauge shotgun as he attempted to serve a summons on a suspected narcotics and weapons violator in Shenandoah County.
The incident took place on Nov. 5, 1987. Trooper Hisghman was point man on the State Police Division Two tactical team that day because a regular member was sick.
“At approximately 11:40 a.m. we entered through the front door. When we got to the second closed door to the living room, I was just about to kick it in when the door opened,” he said.
“A man began firing at me with a 12-gauge shotgun from about three feet away and I returned fire immediately. As soon as the shooting was over someone shut the door. I informed the team that I was hit and ran out of the house,” said Trooper Hisghman.
The tactical team ordered one person out of the house and found the other one — Trooper Hisghman’s assailant — dead. They discovered an underground garden with controlled lighting for growing marijuana in the house.
