UPDATE: Trooper shoots, kills suspect after gun battle
PRESS RELEASE
(Kirkwood, NY) - On January 28, 2019 at approximately 6:09 p.m., the New York State Police at Binghamton received a report that Nicholas P. Philhower, age 30, had taken his mother’s motor vehicle without her permission and she requested he be located and arrested. At approximately 6:20 p.m., Trooper Timothy S. Conklin, a 28-year veteran, observed the suspect vehicle traveling west on State Route 17 in the Town of Kirkwood.
Philhower observed Trooper Conklin approaching and took evasive action, traveling through the median at the intersection with Interstate 81, and then onto State Route 17 east bound, coming to a stop shortly thereafter. At that point Philhower, who was armed with a military style semi-automatic rifle, immediately opened fire on Trooper Conklin through the rear window of the vehicle.
Trooper Conklin returned fire through the windshield of his troop car as Philhower exited his vehicle and continued to advance and fire upon the trooper. Trooper Conklin was able to reload his weapon, exit the troop car and continue to exchange fire with his attacker. During this exchange, Philhower was struck several times and died at the scene.
Trooper Conklin sustained a minor shrapnel injury to his upper right arm and was taken to Wilson Hospital in Johnson City where he was treated and released.
The Broome County Coroner released Philhower's body to Lourdes Hospital for autopsy scheduled for today at 1:00 PM. Broome County District Attorney Stephen Cornwall responded to scene. The New York State Police were provided assistance from members of the State Department of Transportation, The Five Mile Point Volunteer Fire Department, the Broome County Office of Emergency Management, and Superior Ambulance.
The investigation is on-going with troopers and investigators interviewing multiple witnesses and executing search warrants on the suspect’s vehicle and residence.

Hornell: Visitor restrictions in place at St. James Hospital
For the last few weeks, St. James Hospital has had visitor restrictions in place to protect patients, staff and visitors from flu transmission. We just want to remind the public that those restrictions are still in effect as follows:
St. James Hospital reminds the public that it continues to restrict visitors to manage exposure to illnesses that are easily spread, such as the flu. Hospital leadership carefully monitors flu activity levels in the hospital and the community, and takes actions when certain thresholds are met to halt the spread, and limit the number of visitors allowed in patient areas.
The restrictions at St. James include:
- No more than two visitors in a patient’s room at any time
- No visitors under the age of 14
- No visitors with symptoms of fever, cough, body aches, or a sore throat; visitors may not visit until they are symptom-free for 24 hours
St. James will continue to closely monitor flu activity, and regular visiting practices will resume as soon as it is deemed safe to do so. We greatly appreciate the public’s understanding and cooperation during this time, and encourage consumers to be prepared for flu season by getting vaccinated.
