An Indianapolis police officer arrested in Ohio after he allegedly shot a fellow officer will be returned to Indiana to face an attempted murder charge.
Officer Adrian Aurs agreed Tuesday to waive extradition during a brief court hearing in Cincinnati.
Indianapolis police spokesman Sgt. Kendale Adams says the Marion County Sheriff's Department would return the 42-year-old officer to Indianapolis. He says information about the timing of the transfer won't be disclosed due to security concerns.

The detective suffered non-life-threatening injuries to his right side and arm.
Aurs allegedly fled his wife's Indianapolis apartment in his truck after the shooting. Cincinnati police arrested him early Saturday.
