    According to Omro Police, a man selling a car over Facebook met two people in Omro on Monday evening.

    Investigators says one of the suspects took out a gun and after a struggle, the man selling the car was shot.

    Police say the suspects then fled in a vehicle — a U-Haul, according to the Fond du Lac County Sheriff's Office — and they were quickly located by law enforcement. The chase ended in Fond du Lac, where the suspects were taken into custody, police say.

    Omro Police say the suspects — one from Milwaukee and the other Green Bay — were arrested for attempted 1st degree intentional homicide, attempted robbery with use of force, flee/elude an officer, and motor theft, among other charges.

    Police say the victim was transported to a hospital and his injuries appear to be non life-threatening.

    According to the Fond du Lac County Sheriff's Office, deputies and law enforcement from other agencies positioned themselves along 1-41 South to block ramps and deploy a tire deflation device.

    The U-Haul was eventually stopped near the intersection of Johnson Street and Rolling Meadows Drive by a Fond du Lac police squad, which used a PIT maneuver and then pushed the truck off the road to finally end the chase, according to the Sheriff's Office.
