Suspect fires 30 rounds from AR-15 at cops; gun recovered, manhunt underway, Lake County police say

GARY — Police were searching late Wednesday for a suspect who allegedly fired 30 rounds from an AR-15 rifle at police, striking a Lake County squad car in Gary, the sheriff said.

The incident occurred about 10:45 p.m. Wednesday in the 5200 block of West 4th Avenue, Sheriff Oscar Martinez said.

That's where officers of the Lake County Sheriff's Department High Crime Unit had pursued a car that had fled an earlier traffic stop, the sheriff said.

Two suspects — a male driver and a male passenger — bailed from a vehicle at the end of the police pursuit in that area, the sheriff said.
