AUBURN, IN — A man has been charged with the attempted murder of two Auburn police personnel following an incident late Thursday night.
Reports indicate at a little before eleven Thursday night, Officers with the Auburn Police Department responded to the area of County Road 427 for a report of a possibly intoxicated driver. An Auburn Police Officer and DeKalb County Sheriff Department Deputy located the vehicle that was exceeding the speed limit.
Investigators say authorities attempted to initiate a traffic stop for a Toyota truck driven by Cory D. Carico of Auburn. He failed to stop and a pursuit ensued.
During the pursuit, Carico reportedly fired multiple gunshots from an AR-15-style rifle in direction of the responding Auburn officer and DeKalb deputy.
Carico drove across State Road 8 into a field before the truck became stuck in the mud. He then exited his vehicle and fired multiple shots in the direction of additional responding officers.
After an approximate four-hour standoff, members of the responding SWAT teams deployed tear gas, allowing them to extract Carico from the vehicle without further incident.
Law Enforcement did not fire any gunshots during the incident and no law enforcement officers were injured during the altercation.
Carico was transported to a local hospital before being transported to the DeKalb County Jail. He has been charged with two counts of attempted murder, resisting law enforcement with a vehicle, habitual traffic violator, habitual offender enhancement, and a pending charge of operating while intoxicated.
