(Versailles, Ind.) - Indiana State Police - Versailles Post detectives have released more information regarding an officer involved shooting in Seymour. 

The incident began at approximately 8:30 p.m. when two officers with the Seymour Police Department responded to a report of a theft that occurred at the Wal-Mart at 1600 East Tipton Street on the east side of Seymour. 

Officers located the suspect, Jason S. Cline, age 43, of Beech Grove, in possession of a shopping cart containing suspected stolen property. 

Cline allegedly fled from the officers and entered a deep ditch in front of the Tipton Street Taco Bell. 

According to investigators, evidence indicates that the officers caught up to Cline and attempted to take him into custody.  While attempting to place him into handcuffs, he continued to resist arrest.  Cline produced a handgun and pointed it at the officers. Both officers fired their handguns, striking him.

Cline died as result of his injuries. 

An autopsy was completed on Cline this week and his identity was confirmed. Toxicology results are pending.

Meanwhile the two Seymour officers involved in the incident have been placed on administrative leave. 

The investigation is ongoing at this time.
