An armed passerby fatally shot a suspect who had opened fire on a trooper in an apparent ambush attack as the law enforcement officer, who was responding to a shots fired call, stopped to investigate a car crash along Interstate 10 near Tonopah on Thursday.

The incident started shortly before 4:30 a.m. with a 911 call from a driver east of California who said somebody shot at his car from the median, television station KPHO in Phoenix reported.

According to Col. Frank Milstead, the director of DPS, the trooper was responding to the shots fired call when he came upon a single-vehicle rollover wreck near Tonopah. A woman had been ejected from that vehicle.

The trooper immediately stopped and began laying out flares.

“KTLA seriously needs an editor to proof postings!”

Very big competitive regional market. KTLA is often first, with the most.

Not making excuses, but that is the pragmatic practical extent of it.

I got my CCW while living in AZ. We were taught that 70% of drivers in AZ are armed. Never felt safer.
