A man is under arrest for the shooting of Missouri State Highway Patrol Trooper Friday night in south Springfield.
Justin Jackman has been charged with first-degree assault, armed criminal action, felony possession of a firearm and resisting arrest.
The trooper allegedly shot by Jackman has been hospitalized with serious injuries to his face.
Prosecutors say the shooting happened after a pursuit between the trooper and Jackman. They say Jackman drove down an embankment near the dead-end at Armory Court near South Reed Avenue.
Investigators say Jackman got out of the car, fired shots and hit the trooper, then fled after the trooper returned fire.
The Highway Patrol set up a perimeter and found Jackman early Saturday morning.
Jackman has been previously convicted of burglary and other crimes in Bolivar.
