DURHAM (AP) — A North Carolina Highway Patrol trooper is recovering after being shot during a traffic stop in Durham.
Officers continued to search this morning for the person who did the shooting.
Patrol Sgt. Maurice Devalle told The Herald-Sun of Durham that Trooper Mike Potts had surgery Monday night at Duke University Hospital. Devalle said the trooper was doing well, though his face is swollen. He was in fair condition early today.
Gov. Pat McCrory went to the hospital after his State of the State address Monday to see the trooper
Devalle says Potts had stopped a car around 6 p.m. Monday because the driver was not wearing a seatbelt. Devalle says the trooper was hit several times.
