Pinal County Sheriff's Lt. Tammy Villar says the deputy radioed in to say that he had encountered a group in the desert and had been shot with an AK-47 assault rifle in the abdomen.

A Pinal County sheriff's deputy shot by a suspected illegal immigrant Friday was airlifted to hospital while authorities tried to apprehend a number of suspects who had also started shooting at a police helicopter, according to local media reports.

At about 4:30 p.m., the deputy radioed in to report that he was shot in the abdomen with an AK-47 assault rifle during a traffic stop after pulling over a vehicle containing a group of suspected illegal immigrants on the Interstate 8 west of Casa Grande, Arizona.

The deputy was investigating a shipment of marijuana in the desert and was confronted by five suspects, Lt. Tami Villar told 12 News.

Police believe at least two people were armed with long guns and at least one handgun, AZCentral.com reported.

The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office dispatched a helicopter and members of its SWAT team to assist, department spokesman Lt. Brian Lee told AZCentral.com

The more this happens the more I wish the cops could use a few AH-1s or AH-6's
