The incident began at 12:56 a.m., during a traffic stop conducted by a state trooper westbound along I-10 at milepost 57, which is 40 miles east of the Town of Quartzsite.<\/p>\n<p>At 12:56 a.m. an AZDPS trooper conducted a traffic stop on a blue Ford Mustang for a suspended license plate. The trooper had the driver exit the Mustang. During the discussion about the reason for the traffic stop, the front seat passenger of the Mustang got out and fired a weapon at the trooper. The trooper returned fire and the suspect fled from the scene of the traffic stop in the Mustang, westbound along I-10. Vehicle and suspect information was given to area troopers as well as United States Border Patrol (USBP) agents and Laz Paz County Deputies.<\/p>\n<p>USBP agents located the Mustang at milepost 17 and attempted to stop it; a pursuit ensued that ended at milepost 11. There was an exchange of gunfire at this location between the suspect and USBP agents.<\/p>\n<p>The suspect fled on foot across the highway to the eastbound side and broke into a commercial truck-tractor with an attached semi-trailer. He then took possession of the commercial truck by force from the driver. The commercial truck driver sustained injury but was not transported for medical treatment. The suspect drove the commercial truck eastbound along I-10 and was pursued by the La Paz County Sheriff\u2019s Office, USBP and State Troopers. The suspect took exit 17 and exchanged gunfire with troopers, agents and deputies.<\/p>\n<p>The suspect continued towards Business I-10, also known as Main Street, where the truck was finally stopped and a final exchange of gunfire occurred. The suspect was hit during the exchange of gunfire; troopers, deputies and agents immediately began administering advanced life-saving techniques to the suspect.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_112468\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-112468\" style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112468\" src=\"https:\/\/breaking911.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/RODOLFO-BALLARDO_0.jpg\" alt=\"Deceased Suspect: Rodolfo Ballardo, 31, of Wasco CA (last known residence) \" width=\"480\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/breaking911.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/RODOLFO-BALLARDO_0.jpg 480w, https:\/\/breaking911.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/RODOLFO-BALLARDO_0-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/breaking911.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/RODOLFO-BALLARDO_0-336x420.jpg 336w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-112468\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Deceased Suspect: Rodolfo Ballardo, 31, of Wasco CA (last known residence)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The suspect was transported to an area hospital where he was pronounced deceased.<\/p>\n<p>AZDPS detectives are the lead investigators.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>La Paz County, Arizona \u2014 One male suspect is dead, a second male suspect is in the custody of the Arizona Department of Public Safety (AZDPS).
