A man wanted by police after fleeing from a traffic stop has died in southern Indiana.
An autopsy shows a state trooper fatally shot a man who fled police in Columbus. State police say Quentin Starke of Bartholomew County exchanged gunfire with a trooper in a wooded area early Saturday afternoon.
Authorities didn't say how many times he was shot and toxicology tests were pending. About eight hours earlier, police say Starke fled from a Columbus officer during a traffic stop. The driver took off but then abandoned his car near a water treatment facility and fired shots.
Columbus police Sgt. Josh McCrary was injured by a gunshot or some type of debris. He was treated at a hospital and released.
