AUBURN, IN – The Indiana State Police is investigating after a Monday morning shooting in Auburn where two people have died.

Investigators say at around 8:40 AM officers from the Auburn Police Department responded to a report of shots fired at a residence in the 800 block of Griswold Court. As officers arrived, a passenger vehicle was leaving the area. Police attempted a traffic stop on the vehicle, but the driver fled.

Officers from the Auburn Police Department, Dekalb County Sheriff’s Department, and the Indiana State Police then became involved in a pursuit.

Authorities deployed a tire deflation device on County Road 51 at State Road 8. The vehicle continued at slow speeds north on 51. Near County Road 40, officers reported shots being fired from within the vehicle. The vehicle then came to a stop on 51, south of 40.

Officers found two injured occupants in the vehicle. An unresponsive adult male suffering from an apparent gunshot was found in the backseat. An adult female driver was also suffering from an apparent gunshot wound.

Life saving measures were given to the female until EMS arrived, but were unsuccessful. Both the male and female were pronounced dead at the scene.

No officers were injured and no shots were fired by officers. No one else was found injured at the Griswold Court residence.

After a preliminary investigation, detectives believe it was a domestic situation that resulted in a murder-suicide.

Investigators were still working to learn about the events that happened at Griswold Court, as well as the relationship between the man and woman.

The two have not yet been identified.

The incident is considered an active and ongoing investigation by the Indiana State Police.
