At approximately 7:30 p.m. Monday night an Indiana State Trooper attempted a traffic stop on a pickup truck on U.S. 50 just east of I-65 for a traffic violation. The violation occurred on I-65 southbound and the truck exited I-65 at U.S. 50 and pulled onto Sandy Creek Drive and stopped. After stopping the driver fired a shot at the trooper and the trooper returned fire. The suspect then fled on foot north of the scene into a wooded area. No one was injured in the exchange of gunfire. Indiana State Police, Seymour Police, and Jackson County Sheriff’s Deputies along with Indiana State Police Emergency Response Team members, K-9 teams, and Indiana State Police helicopter were still searching the area as of late Monday night.
