ORANGE COUNTY, Ind. - A man accused of critically injuring a southern Indiana deputy in a shooting was fatally shot by police Saturday, ending a two-day manhunt.

Details of the confrontation between Schepers and law enforcement are limited, but state police confirmed that Schepers was fatally shot at the scene by officers.

Schepers was accused of shooting Deputy Sheriff Zac Andry shortly after midnight at the intersection of U.S. 150 and State Road 56. 

Andry was checking on a Pontiac Grand Prix that was partially in the roadway and was speaking with the driver, Schepers, when Schepers shot Andry multiple times, including in the head, Indiana State Police said.
