A suspect in Friday's shooting of a Kentucky state trooper has been apprehended, according to authorities.

The arrest was made around 10 p.m. by the Kentucky State Police and the Lexington Police Department.

The state trooper had been shot multiple times around 4:15 p.m. in Cynthiana, about an hour northeast of Lexington, authorities said.

A Kentucky Fish and Wildlife officer was near the shooting scene and transported the wounded trooper to a hospital, where he was treated until being taken to a different hospital with a trauma center, Kentucky State Police Public Affairs Cmdr. Paul Blanton told Fox News Digital.
