Police said an officer attempted to pull over a car that refused to stop. That chase ended with gunshots being exchanged and an officer being wounded with a bullet or shrapnel. Quentin Starke took off running. Police spent the next several hours trying to track him down. Just after noon, an Indiana State trooper searching where Starke was last seen found him hiding in a wooded area. The two exchanged gunfire, and Starke was shot and killed.
