New charges for cop shooting suspect

EAST GREENWICH, R.I. (WPRI) - David Catalano is scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday on charges of driving to endanger, death resulting and leaving the scene of an accident, death resulting after a fatal hit and run crash that killed an East Greenwich gas station attendant.

Investigators say Catalano hit and killed 66-year-old Clifford LaValle while LaValle was putting air in the tire of a vehicle at the Shell Gas Station on Post Road in East Greenwich this weekend.

LaValle was rushed to Rhode Island Hospital where he died several hours later.

LaValle worked at the Shell Station for most of his life. Family members are calling his death "devastating," but otherwise did not want to comment.

Police identified Catalano after an eyewitness wrote down his license plate number.

Catalano is also accused of shooting a North Kingstown Police Officer who attempted to notify Catalano that he was being cited for the hit and run.

The officer survived because he was wearing a bullet proof vest.

Catalano has been ordered held without bail on a number of charges stemming from that incident.
