SHELDON, Ill. (WLS) — A suspect was killed and an Indiana sheriff’s deputy was critically injured in a shootout in Illinois on Sunday evening, police said.

Illinois State Police said Iroquois County Sheriff’s Department officers chased an armed suspect with a suspected hostage into Indiana just before 9 p.m. That’s when the Newton County Sheriff’s Department engaged with the pursuit.

The chase went back into Illinois, and the suspect crashed in Sheldon, ISP said. The suspect got out of his vehicle and exchanged gunfire with police.

An officer shot the suspect, 37-year-old Andrew Roselius of Clifton, Illinois. He was pronounced dead on the scene.
