Anderson says the suspect is in custody.

The incident happened  just before 2:45 p.m. on Highway 14 East and Fruge Road.  Anderson said the trooper was responding to a report of a vehicle driving in an unsafe manner. The vehicle was found in a ditch.

The trooper was transported to a Lake Charles hospital.

The accused shooter was also taken to a hospital, according to Anderson, but it wasn’t clear why.

Pray for the injured trooper and his family.
