A woman was killed and a Brookville police officer was wounded in a shooting at a Brookville Speedway Monday night, Montgomery County dispatchers said.

The officer, who was shot in his upper shoulder or arm area, underwent surgery and is listed in stable condition at Miami Valley Hospital, a dispatch supervisor said.

The officer and woman were shot in an exchange of gunfire in the 700 block of Arlington Road just off Interstate I-70 shortly before 10 p.m.

Brookville police responded to the area to assist troopers with the Dayton post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol on a chase, the dispatch supervisor said.

The woman was pronounced dead at the scene.

Authorities are searching for a 2012 blue Subaru Forester with a luggage rack and Tennessee license plate 6A31G4.

The suspect is described as a short white male who possibly has red hair.

He is considered armed and dangerous.

Anyone who spots him is asked to call Montgomery County dispatchers: 513-225-4357 or Miami Valley Crime Stoppers: 513-222-7861.

Brookville police and the Dayton post of the highway patrol declined comment early Tuesday.

They said more information would be available later in the day.
