A Texas state trooper was shot and wounded late Monday night while helping FBI agents serve a federal warrant at an apartment on the south side of Dallas, the Associated Press reported.

The exact condition of the trooper was not immediately released, but AP reported that he was conscious just before being taken to Baylor University Medical Center.

The Texas Department of Public Safety said the trooper was providing backup for the FBI around 10 p.m. when shots rang out, the AP reported.
