Pasco County: After a shooting in Wesley Chapel, a man was killed and a Florida Highway Patrol officer was injured.

During the chase, FHP said the men fired a gun several times from their car, hitting a tanker truck.

FHP said the men got off at Overpass Road, where a trooper was able to stop the chase.

The agency said that's when the two men ran towards a wooded area, and one man surrendered to a trooper while the other man had a gun. FHP said shots were fired between the second trooper and suspect. The trooper was hit in the torso, while the suspect was hit and had deadly injuries.

The trooper was airlifted to the hospital, where he was listed as stable. FHP said the trooper continues his recovery at the hospital.
