(LAWRENCE) - Police say a man has been shot and wounded after leading police on a chase in suburban Indianapolis and pointing a rifle at officers.
The chase started after police in Lawrence responded to reports of a shooting late Thursday at an apartment complex. Deputy Chief Gary Woodruff says they spotted a vehicle that matched that of the suspect and tried to pull it over, but the driver didn't stop.
Woodruff say a handgun was tossed from the vehicle during the chase. He says the vehicle eventually stopped, and a man got out and pointed a rifle at officers. Woodruff says officers fired about a half-dozen shots and the man ran before being caught.
The man had a gunshot wound to the leg. He's expected to face charges. No officers were injured.
