SPEEDWAY, Ind. — A state trooper fired a gun Tuesday night as suspects were trying to run from a traffic stop in Speedway.
The traffic stop happened around 9 p.m. near the intersection of West 30th Street and Beeler Avenue. Police say they saw a Kia that had been reported stolen, so they pulled it over and tried to talk to its three occupants.

But, when they did this, they claim that only one person actually did as they asked. He was later released from police custody. Another individual ran away, and the third left with the car.
That’s when State Police say the trooper – later identified as Damon Munn – fired his gun. According to a press release, though, “It is not believed anyone was struck by gunfire or injured.”
Officers have still not found the two who got away, though they did eventually manage to find the car. They provided photos Wednesday of the man they believe had been driving Tuesday night.
