Subject wanted in Indiana Blue Alert shot by police in Louisville – NBC Chicago

The suspect who shot an Indiana sheriff’s deputy and triggered a statewide Blue Alert was fatally shot during a confrontation with police in Louisville, Kentucky, authorities say.

According to authorities, on Saturday evening, investigators from the Indiana State Police and officers from the Louisville Metro Police Department were led to a home in Louisville in an attempt to locate Austin Schepers. The 33-year-old suspect was wanted in the shooting of Orange County Deputy Zach Andry early Friday morning in West Baden Springs, a town about 56 miles northwest of Louisville.

At the house in question, Schepers was shot and killed during a confrontation with police officers. Details of the confrontation were not immediately available.

According to authorities, Friday morning, Andry was shot when he went to check on the suspect’s vehicle, which was in the middle of the roadway. While Andry spoke to him, Schepers opened fire several times before fleeing.

The deputy, who was shot several times, including in the head, was listed in critical but stable condition Saturday evening.
