Police said the suspect had fled on foot from a traffic stop before firing at officers.

MITCHELL, Ind. — Two southern Indiana law enforcement officers were shot and wounded early Sunday during an exchange of gunfire with a suspect who fled a traffic stop on foot and fired at the officers before he was fatally shot, police said.

The man who fired at the officers was pronounced dead at a local hospital, he said. His name was not immediately released. That officer was soon joined by a second Lawrence County Sheriff’s deputy with a police dog and a Mitchell police officer, he said. After the police dog alerted officers to possible drugs inside the man’s car, the officers searched it and discovered narcotics.
