An Elkhart County man is dead following a multi-county police pursuit that ended in Fulton County.

According to authorities, the incident began shortly after 6:30 p.m. on Monday, April 20, when a Fulton County deputy attempted to stop a 2014 Ford F-150 on State Road 17 near County Road 100 South. The driver refused to pull over, leading officers on a pursuit that stretched across Fulton, Cass, and Pulaski counties.

Police say the chase came to an end near County Road 950 South and County Road 500 West when Indiana State Police Trooper Abby Russell executed a Precision Immobilization Technique, or PIT maneuver, causing the truck to spin off the roadway and strike a post.

As officers approached the vehicle to conduct a high-risk stop, they reported hearing a single gunshot from inside the truck.

Officers then identified the driver as 50-year-old Aaron T. Holliday of Elkhart and discovered he had suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Holliday was pronounced dead at the scene by the Fulton County Coroner’s Office.

Authorities confirmed that no officers fired their weapons during the incident.
