"At 0930 hours this morning, Tpr. Patrick Casey was assisting with a vehicle pursuit on I-676 when he was shot and wounded by one of the suspects during the pursuit.
"The suspects in the vehicle were taken into custody shortly thereafter. Tpr. Casey is in good spirits while recovering in the hospital," the Pennsylvania State Police said.
"My thoughts and prayers are with the Pennsylvania State Police Trooper shot on Interstate 676 in the line of duty today. I received an update from Acting Commissioner Blocker a short time ago and I am relieved to learn that the trooper is in stable condition at a hospital in Philadelphia.
"Our men and women in law enforcement put their lives on the line each day to protect us, and we owe them a debt of gratitude. The shooter was swiftly taken into custody by the Pennsylvania State Police," Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf said.
