Authorities have identified the man who was shot by police when an attempted car-stop turned into a pursuit. WNIN’S John Gibson has the update:

The Evansville Police Department says Travis Michael Turner was wanted on warrants out of Kentucky.

Officers tried to stop a car driven by Turner at Weinbach and Covert avenues late Wednesday afternoon.

Police say he got out of the car, fled on foot, broke into two nearby houses, and stole a pickup truck.

Officers fired at him when police say he nearly struck them with the truck.

Turner got out of the truck, was arrested and treated at a local hospital before being booked into the Vanderburgh County jail.

He faces a litany of charges.
