Montgomery County police officer Kyle Olinger addresses the media at the Montgomery County Circuit Court in 2005 after the sentencing of the man convicted of shooting him. (Kevin Clark/The Washington Post)Kyle Olinger, a Montgomery County police officer who was shot during a traffic stop in 2003, died last week of his wounds. In September 2004, Olinger, then 38 and in a wheelchair, testified in Montgomery County Circuit Court at the trial of the man subsequently convicted of shooting him. Although, he said, “technically, I could have shot him.”Then Olinger said the man pulled Olinger’s arm into the car and shot him. A spokesman for the Montgomery County state’s attorney’s office said Tuesday that officials are awaiting autopsy results before determining whether to file new charges in the case.
