BUCKEYE, AZ — One suspect is dead and law enforcement is still searching for a second after a Department of Public Safety trooper was involved in a shooting in the West Valley late Saturday night.
According to DPS officials, a trooper was trying to pull over a Chrysler minivan heading north on Jackrabbit Trail for speeding, but when the driver failed to stop, a brief pursuit followed. The vehicle flipped near Jackrabbit Trail and Lewis Avenue and two suspects got out. One of the suspects, 40-year-old Jose German, pulled out a gun and fired at the trooper, who returned fire and struck German.
Authorities say German died after the exchange of gunfire, and the second suspect fled into the desert and is still outstanding Sunday evening. Additional details regarding the second suspect was not immediately available.
