The matter remains under investigation, and troopers are speaking to members of the Windsor County’s State Attorney’s Office to determine whether charges will be pressed pertaining to the incident.

Thompson was an ROTC student at Norwich University, and a member of the Vermont National Guard. He is remembered by fellow cadet Braiden Cairo as “someone who wants to see those around him succeed,” and being a strong force in his community.
