HOLBROOK. Ariz. (AP) - A 53-mile stretch of westbound Interstate 40 east of Holbrook in northeastern Arizona reopened late Friday morning after being closed for hours because of a law enforcement situation involving gunfire.

The Arizona Department of Public Safety said in a Twitter post that at least one trooper was involved in a shooting but that no troopers or suspects were injured.

No additional information was immediately released on the incident but westbound I-40 was closed because of the investigation.
