| A rural Alaska man who shot two state troopers to death was convicted Monday of two counts of first-degree murder.
A Fairbanks jury deliberated six hours before convicting Nathanial Kangas, 22, in the deaths of Sgt. Scott Johnson and Trooper Gabe Rich in May 2014, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner (http://bit.ly/1NvZDt9) reported.
The jury also returned special verdicts on each murder charge, saying the officers were both in uniform and were clearly identifiable as peace officers performing their duties when murdered. The sentence for each murder count is a mandatory 99-year prison term without the possibility of parole. Alaska does not have the death penalty.
A hearing was scheduled Friday to set a sentencing date.
The officers were shot at Kangas' home in the village of Tanana, about 130 miles west of Fairbanks, as they attempted to arrest Kangas' father.
Defense attorney Greg Parvin argued that Kangas was not guilty of premeditated murder. He said the younger man was trying to protect his father.
