PHOENIX — A man was taken to the hospital Thursday after a shooting involving Department of Public Safety troopers near 24th Drive and Thomas Road.
Video from Sky12 showed multiple DPS patrol vehicles surrounding the area while troopers blocked off the scene. The video also showed a person being loaded into an ambulance nearby.
Officials said no troopers were injured in the incident. DPS said they are not looking for any additional suspects.
The situation began when a trooper on a motorcycle tried to conduct a traffic stop on a bicyclist. When the suspect fled on foot, the trooper pursued the subject.
The trooper allegedly attempted to use a Taser to detain the suspect but resorted to shooting the suspect twice after the suspect allegedly revealed a weapon, DPS officials said.
The wounded suspect, described as a man in his 20s, had an outstanding warrant, DPS said. His injuries appear to be non-life-threatening at this time.
Authorities are still investigating what led up to the shooting.
