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.
Oszust was critically injured in the shooting after he was struck by gunfire. The trooper who was injured was shot in the hand. He was transported to a hospital and was later released.
Three other troopers were involved in the shooting but were not injured.
The agency said both Gishal and Oszust had a history of arrests and Oszust had an active warrant for a probation violation.
The incident is under investigation.
