Police officers in Georgia and Missouri were wounded Friday — one critically — after officials said they were "ambushed" in two separate incidents just hours after five officers were killed and seven were wounded in Dallas during a protest.

A suburban St. Louis police officer was "ambushed" during a traffic stop and shot at least once, wounding him critically, authorities said.

In Valdosta, Ga., a man who called 911 to report a car break-in ambushed a south Georgia police officer dispatched to the scene, sparking a shootout in which both the officer and suspect were wounded, authorities said. Both are expected to survive.

The suspect in custody in the Missouri attack is a man in his 30s and likely will be charged in the shooting, St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said at a news conference. Authorities did not provide the race or identity of the officer or the suspect.
