WARSAW — The Indiana State Police have been asked to investigate an officer-involved shooting that occurred this evening, Sept. 26, involving a Warsaw police officer.

Preliminary investigation shows that around 7:26 p.m., the Warsaw Police Department was called to a house in the 1800 block of Michaels Street for an unwanted party. This unwanted party is reported to have been unknown to the residents of the house.

The suspect left prior to the police arriving and began to walk in traffic on Old Road 30, also known as Lake Street. The suspect then allegedly began to try to get into cars that were passing by and was then encountered by a Warsaw police officer.

During this encounter, the suspect began to struggle with the officer, who attempted to use his Taser. The Taser purportedly had no effect on the suspect. As this encounter continued, the officer fired his weapon, hitting the suspect in the right arm.

The suspect received non-life threatening injuries. Once the scene was stabilized, officers rendered aid to the suspect prior to Lutheran EMS arriving.

The officer was not injured.

This is an ongoing investigation.
