There's a statewide manhunt on this afternoon, for an armed suspect who led Wooster police on a car chase, fired shots at officers, crashed his car,  ran away, broke into a house, stole another car, then backed it out, straight through a garage door.

They say the suspect, 33-year-old James Bubba Schmidt, is armed and dangerous, and believed to be driving the stolen grey 2006 GMC Envoy.  Anyone with information or who has seen Schmidt is asked to call 911.
