A 28-year-old woman from Farmington, New Hampshire, faces several charges after being shot by police during a traffic stop on Sunday.

During the subsequent encounter, a trooper fired his weapon, hitting Infinjer, who sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to a hospital. The circumstances surrounding the shooting are under investigation, raising important questions about police engagement in high-speed pursuits.
