On 02/07/2024 at approximately 0654 hours, an individual in Palmer, called AST dispatch to report her teenage child was trampled by a moose in the area of Plumley Road in Palmer as the juvenile was preparing to go to school.  The complainant declined an ambulance as she was taking her daughter to the hospital on her own with non-life threatening injuries.  AWT responded to the area and located the moose.  The moose displayed aggressive behavior toward the trooper and was subsequently shot.  A charity responded for the moose.  A follow up with the complainant revealed the juvenile had been released from the hospital with minor injuries.
