KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Missouri State Highway Patrol trooper's vehicle was struck by gunfire during a pursuit Saturday night.

Just about 6 minutes later, the trooper advised shots had been fired that struck his patrol car.
The trooper then lost sight of the suspect vehicle in Blue Springs.
While the suspect's vehicle was eventually located, the suspect remains at large.
