On September 7, the Iroquois County Sheriff's Department, Illinois State Police, Newton County Indiana Sheriff's Department and the Kentland Indiana Police Department responded to the report of an alleged kidnapping in progress regarding a vehicle driven by a suspect named Andrew Roselius, 37, of Ashkum, Illinois.

The suspect vehicle was identified in rural Iroquois County and an attempt was made by law enforcement to stop the vehicle.

When the subject vehicle refused to stop, it travelled from Iroquois County into Newton County, Indiana and then back into Iroquois County where it hit another vehicle on a public road in the Village of Sheldon, Illinois.

Once stopped, the vehicle driven by Andrew Roselius was surrounded by law enforcement. It was reported that Mr. Roselius was armed and suicidal.

A confrontation occurred between law enforcement and Mr. Roselius while he was seated in his vehicle.

After repeated requests by law enforcement for Mr. Roselius to show his hands and to leave his vehicle, Mr. Roselius displayed a revolver and fired one shot which struck a Newton County, Indiana Deputy in the head which left him critically wounded.

As a result of the shot, an Iroquois County Deputy returned fire by striking Mr. Roselius in the head. Roselius was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Newton County Deputy died from his wounds on September 11.

After a thorough examination of witness accounts, body-camera footage, squad car camera footage, ballistic tests, Illinois State Crime Lab analysis and autopsy findings, the Iroquois County State's Attorney's Office was presented with all relevant investigatory information.

The Iroquois County State's Attorney, Jim Devine, concluded that the death of Andrew Roselius by law enforcement on September 1, was justified. No further action will be taken by the State's Attorney's Office.
