Man fires at officers during chase in LaPorte County, then shoots himself in the head

NORTH JUDSON, Ind. (AP) — Police say a man fired at officers from a pickup truck during a chase in LaPorte County before stopping and shooting himself in the head.

Indiana State Police say in a statement that the 34-year-old North Judson man was taken to a hospital in South Bend, where he was listed in critical condition. No officers were injured in Thursday’s chase, which ended along a rural roadway in La Porte County.
