Louisville Metro Police Department has identified the four officers who fired shots at a man suspected of shooting a southern Indiana sheriff's deputy.

The officers responded to the 3700 block of Wheeler Avenue around 7:30 p.m. Sunday night to search for 33-year-old Austin Schepers.

Schepers was accused of shooting Orange County Sheriff's Deputy Zac Andry four times when Andry stopped to check on a car he thought was abandoned on Highway 150 and State Road 56 near West Baden. That shooting happened Saturday morning.

A manhunt ensued, with police being led to New Albany on tips that Schepers might be there, and eventually to Louisville.

LMPD found Schepers in the backyard of a home on Wheeler Avenue. They said he fired shots at the officers first, so they returned fire, hitting him several times.

Schepers was pronounced dead at the scene.
