SCOTT COUNTY,
Ind. – Indiana State Police (ISP) detectives were called to investigate a police-involved shooting early Sunday involving a Scott County deputy.
The officer was patrolling State Road 256, at about 5:45 a.m., when he saw an off-road all-terrain vehicle (ATV) turn east onto S.R. 256 from Terry Road without stopping at the stop sign. The deputy attempted to pull over the ATV, but the vehicle continued into a nearby field where it reportedly stopped. The officer said he exited his patrol vehicle and pursued on foot. According to the deputy, he heard what he believed to be a gunshot, so returned fire as he took cover behind a nearby house trailer.
