PHOENIX — A suspect was shot and killed and another was injured in a shooting in Flagstaff that involved an Arizona Department of Public Safety trooper.

The department said 20-year-old Marcus Gishal was killed around 8:45 p.m. Wednesday after he allegedly fired on troopers who located him and 20-year-old Preston Oszust after the pair fled from a traffic stop.
