ANCHORAGE — Authorities were trying to determine Monday what occurred along a major highway when a traffic stop for erratic driving ended with a woman being wounded during a shootout with an Alaska trooper.

Troopers gave chase after receiving reports Sunday evening that a woman was driving erratically and firing a gun from a yellow sport utility vehicle on Sterling Highway on the Kenai Peninsula.

An Alaska wildlife trooper tried to stop the SUV near Happy Valley, but the driver kept going then slowed the vehicle.
