Ohio State Highway Patrol followed the suspect, who was driving a white Ford Crown Victoria, to Clinton County where shots have been fired, according to officials.
The suspect is said to be armed with a rifle and possibly wearing body armor, officials said. The standoff is ongoing.
There’s a lockdown in effect within a one-mile radius of the standoff scene. People have been instructed to lock doors and stay inside.
