A man was arrested after shooting at police officers in Michigan City.

It was just before 5:30 a.m. on Friday, Feb, 17, when the LaPorte County Regional Dispatch Center received a 911 call from the 1500 block of E. Barker Avenue in Michigan City.

The male caller asked for help but provided no other details.

Officers arrived on scene for a welfare check and tried to get the caller to come to the door by knocking and announcing their presence. While doing so, movement could be heard inside as well as a male voice asking for help.

Officers then entered the residence and followed the voice toward a rear bedroom. Once there the caller, identified as Joshua Mohamed, 46, opened fire with a handgun from a hidden position.

The rounds narrowly missed the officers who quickly took cover and radioed for additional assistance.

SWAT personnel quickly arrived on scene as well as a negotiator.

Mohamed was taken into custody and the handgun he possessed was collected as evidence.

No shots were fired during this incident by any of the Officers.

Mohamed was arrested on two counts of Attempted Murder as Level 1 Felonies, one count of Criminal Recklessness as a Level 5 Felony and one count of Pointing a Firearm as a Class A Misdemeanor.
