A police officer was shot in Missouri.
A police officer was shot and injured in Missouri near St. Louis while conducting a Friday afternoon traffic stop, local news outlets reported.
“The extent of their injuries is currently unknown,” the St. Louis-area KSDK TV reported.
The officer works for the Ballwin Police Department and was tranasported to a nearby hospital for treatment. Ballwin is located about 20 miles outside of St. Louis.
“A suspect was reported to be in custody after a foot chase,” and a “weapon was recovered,” other media outlets reported.
Fox 2 Now said the officer was shot while conducting a traffic stop in west St. Louis County, near New Ballwin Road, north of Manchester.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported the officer, who’s not been identified, suffered neck wounds.
The suspect was described by police as a tall, thin black male driving a blue Ford Taurus with temporary Illinois tags. Officers with the St. Louis County Police Department are investigating.
The shooting comes just after five police officers were killed and seven others injured in a targeted shooting attack in Dallas. The suspects also shot and hurt two civilians in the Thursday night event.
One of the suspects in Dallas, Micah X. Johnson, reportedly told police during a standoff in which he was killed that his intent was to kill white people and that more attacks were coming.
