Police: Trooper shot, critically injured during traffic stop

     

Other drivers stopped to help, said Sgt. James Anderson, southwest Louisiana spokesman for state police.

"As I understand it, they rendered aid to the trooper, they called for help using the trooper's radio, and they detained the suspect," he said.

He said the officer was in critical but stable condition Sunday evening, and the man accused of shooting him was also in a hospital.
