According to IMPD, the suspect involved in the incident is the same suspect in an earlier shooting at Ritter Avenue that left a woman dead. Officers later learned that the incident was domestic violence between the woman and her husband.

After the shooting, information on the suspect, who fled the scene, and his vehicle was broadcast to nearby police districts. A short time later, police spotted the vehicle in the 3300 block of Boulevard Place.
Officers attempted to stop the vehicle, but the suspect did not stop, leading to a police chase. It was during the chase that police said the suspect stopped at least three times and fired at officers.
At least one officer returned fire, police said. Additionally, two IMPD vehicles were struck by gunfire.
The suspect eventually exited his vehicle in the 900 block of W 32nd Street and reportedly pointed a rifle in the direction of officers. At this point, officers fired at the suspect; however, it is not clear how many officers fired.
Video was taken on Clifton Street under I-65, where you can hear shots being fired during the police chase. (WARNING: The video contains sensitive material, including the sounds of gunshots.)
Police said they gave several verbal commands for the suspect to show his hands.
The suspect was then transported to the hospital in critical condition and was later pronounced dead.
Police confirmed that no officers were injured.
Detectives located a rifle next to the suspect and another firearm in his vehicle.
Body-worn cameras were also equipped during the incident.
West 32nd Street will be closed from Clifton Street to the dead end on Dr. MLK Jr. Street for several hours while officers investigate.
IMPD is asking community members to call if they locate potential evidence, witnessed any part of the incident, or have any property damage.
IMPD Assistant Chief Catherine Cummings gave the following statement at the scene:
"This situation extends beyond just our officers. A woman is dead, and this is due to what detectives believe was a domestic situation. My thoughts are with her family and her loved ones as they grieve her loss. An entire neighborhood was impacted. Those who live there, business owners, and people walking by were forced to witness a traumatic, violent scene unfold right in front of their homes, their churches, and their storefronts."
