New York State Police say they are now conducting two investigations into Long Island State Trooper Thomas Mascia, who claimed he was shot in the leg while on the job last week.

Investigators also searched vehicles — a blue sedan ... "I think it overshadows the outstanding and great work that the members of the state police and the state troopers do each and every day in an attempt to keep the public safe," the major said.

Trooper Thomas Mascia, who claimed he was shot while assisting a stranded driver, is now suspended without pay, with his badge and duty weapons confiscated.
