An Indiana State Police K9 was injured during a morning pursuit on Thursday.

Troopers from the ISP Lowell Post noticed a vehicle reported stolen traveling westbound on I-80 in Lake County and attempted to make a traffic stop after it merged onto I-65.

The suspect failed to pull over, instead leading police on a pursuit and coming to a stop at the intersection of 21st Avenue and Wisconsin street in Gary where the suspect fled on foot.

ISP K9 Rogue was deployed, though she suffered a gunshot wound to her paw.

The driver of the vehicle, 22-year-old Damontae Reed from Gary, was arrested and booked at the Lake County Jail.

K9 Rogue is currently in stable condition and is expected to make a full recovery.
