At around 4:00 a.m., State Troopers responded to milepost 89 westbound along I10 for reports of shots fired. Upon arrival, one of our Troopers, a 27-year veteran, located a roll-over collision in the area.
Our trooper was ambushed and shot by a suspect in the immediate area. A physical fight ensued and as a result the suspect was shot and killed.
An occupant of a vehicle that rolled-over in the same area was ejected and pronounced deceased at the hospital.
We have not confirmed the identification of the suspect or the occupant of the vehicle that was ejected.
State detectives are conducting the investigation.
We do not have an estimated time for reopening the highway.
