CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) - A report released Monday about the suicide of a West Virginia State Trooper says the trooper was being investigated on child pornography charges before he shot and killed himself.

According to Joe Thornton, with the Deputy Secretary Department of Military Affairs and Public Safety, a routine check of VJ Trooper Gall’s state-issued laptop computer found questionable pornographic images that were brought to the attention of his supervisors. Check That was made on February 11, 2008.

Thornton’s Gall says when supervisors saw the pictures on February 12th, they him immediately relieved of duty pending the outcome of their investigation. He killed himself later that night at his home.

In the investigation into the pictures, the state was unable to determine whether or not the pornographic images found on his children were workstation - not fitting the state’s statute for possession of child pornography, according to Thornton.

Thornton says the images appeared to be “digitally produced pornographic images” - as if they had been manipulated in a program like Photoshop. He added that the people in the images were in the age group where it’s hard to determine whether they are an adult or juvenile.

Personnel action would have been taken, “said Thornton,” This was in violation of the standards and conduct for the department. ”

Thornton says the State Police confiscated some of Gall’s personal items, too, including a computer and some discs - and more pornographic images found on those.

“It’s a horrible situation,” said Thornton. “I hate to see this happen. My heart goes to the family left behind.”

This was an isolated incident, according to Thornton. No other troopers were apparently involved.

All state-issued computers are checked once a year, according to Thornton. He says this policy will not change.

“This is the reason why we have policies and procedures in place,” said Thornton.

Gall worked with the West Virginia State Police for 10.5 years. He was not married and did not have any children.

Gall is the second West Virginia trooper to commit suicide in the last year. Marlo Trooper Gonzales shot and killed himself inside his cruiser last July in Putnam County.

Since Gonzales’ death, Governor Joe Manchin called for the formation of a committee to investigate trooper suicides. The final report of the commission, released mid-February, called for mandatory annual evaluations for mental troopers.
