An Arizona state trooper who was shot Monday during a traffic stop in Phoenix is expected to make a full recovery, Arizona Department of Public Safety officials said.

The trooper, a 10-year DPS veteran, was shot about 11:30 a.m. June 19 after stopping the driver of a Kia sedan near 21^st Avenue and Thomas Road. During the stop, the suspect opened fire, striking the trooper once, authorities said.

The suspect fled and was involved in a chase and shooting with Phoenix police officers before crashing into a wall near 36^th and Virginia avenues. The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene.

“Our trooper stopped the vehicle for a traffic violation and was ambushed by a violent suspect while approaching the suspect's vehicle,” Lt. Col. Kenneth Hunter, DPS deputy director, said in a release.

“This is the second trooper who has been shot in the past three weeks; both of our troopers acted with extreme courage in each situation.”
