A horrifying series of videos shows the attack that left an Illinois State Trooper with serious injuries during a traffic stop in Springfield.

According to ISP officials, Trooper Dakotah Chapman-Green is still recovering from his injuries after he was allegedly shot and beaten by a 37-year-old Chicago man during a traffic stop on Oct. 24.

In the latest update, officials say that suspect fired at least 10 shots during the attack, and then used his weapon to repeatedly strike the trooper in the face, causing severe injuries.

“By the grace of God, Trooper Chapman-Green survived this brutal attack,” ISP Director Brendan Kelly said in a statement. “Police officers across the state take an oath to protect the lives of Illinois citizens, and all too often that means facing diabolical, hateful, vicious evil that no innocent human being should ever have to face.”
