Man sought for shooting at officers captured in Wisconsin

GARY, Ind. (AP) – Gary police say a man wanted for shooting at officers has been captured in Madison, Wisconsin.

Police say federal marshals apprehended 28-year-old Kevin Brown Jr., who’s now awaiting extradition to Indiana. He’s charged with two counts each of attempted murder, attempted battery with a deadly weapon, and resisting law enforcement.

Brown had been sought since April 26, when police say he shot at two members of the Multi-Agency Gang Force who were making an arrest. Gary police initially caught Brown but he escaped from a police car wearing handcuffs.

Investigators don’t know what led Brown to fire on officers. No one was injured.

It’s not clear whether Brown has an attorney who might comment on the case.
