BURLESON, Texas (AP) – Authorities say a man suspected in the shooting of a Burleson police officer during a traffic stop early Wednesday has been arrested.
The shooting happened at about 4:15 a.m. Wednesday about 45 miles southwest of Dallas.
Police say the officer was taken to a Fort Worth hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.
A search continued in the Gainesville area for another person who fled, and a third person is being questioned.
The shooting is at least the fourth involving a Texas law enforcement officer in recent weeks, including last month’s fatal shooting of a Texas state trooper during a traffic stop near Mexia, about 75 miles southeast of Dallas.
