Medical help was given at the scene, police said. The person died at the hospital.

Police said officers responded shortly after midnight to reports of a fight with weapons at Drew Dix Park in Pueblo. The people left the park before officers arrived but police got a description of the suspects’ vehicle, a van.

Officers found the van with three people in it. During the encounter, a passenger displayed a gun, police said.

An officer fired at the passenger, the police department said. The officers involved and one police dispatcher have been placed on administrative leave.

The 10th Judicial District Critical Incident Response Team is investigating the shooting.

The Pueblo County Coroner will identify the person killed after notifications are made.

Police were responding to a 911 call about a man with a rifle in the 100 block of Spruce Drive at 12:29 p.m. when officers “encountered the armed man and fired their weapons,” the CBI said in a news release.

The man was taken to the hospital and is in stable condition after surgery, state officials said.

No police officers were injured during the encounter, which is being investigated by the Seventh Judicial District Critical Incident Team.

Anyone with information about the shooting can contact WestCO Dispatch at 970-249-9110.

Police arrived at an apartment at Willow Green Townhomes, 6989 Sheridan Blvd., at 7:11 a.m. after getting calls about a “disturbance involving an assault” and that there were multiple people, including children, and guns in the home.

Officers entered the home and found one person who was being kept against their will and safely removed two women and a child from the home, Arvada police said. The Westminster Police Department also responded to the scene and deployed a drone to help with surveillance.

Witnesses told police there were two men still inside who were believed to be armed, and officers saw one man crawl out of a window onto the roof while armed and then go back inside.

At 8:03 a.m., the man came back onto the roof and got a gun, which is when a Westminster officer shot the man and he fell on the roof.

Paramedics could not immediately get to the man because police did not know what was going on inside the apartment, Arvada officials wrote. Officers used a drone to monitor him and saw he “showed no signs of life.”

The Jefferson County SWAT Team searched the apartment and did not find anyone else inside. The man was pronounced dead at 11 a.m., and investigators found two guns near his body and another gun in the apartment.

It’s not clear what happened to the second man described by witnesses, and investigators are still looking into whether he left the home before police arrived, department spokesperson Chase Amos said.

Arvada police are investigating the assault and the 17th Judicial District Critical Incident Response Team is investigating the police shooting.

Updated 5:47 p.m. May 2, 2026: Because of a reporter’s error, a previous version of this story misreported which police department the officer who shot the suspect was from. The officer was from the Westminster Police Department. The story has been updated.

The shooting happened at Parliament Apartments, 4363 South Quebec St., just before 2 a.m. as officers were responding to a 911 call about a possible carjacking, Chief Ron Thomas said in a briefing.

Police officers saw a man matching witness descriptions and challenged him, Thomas said. He responded by firing once at officers, and one officer fired multiple shots in return, hitting the suspect.

Officers started life-saving measures after the suspect went down, and the person was taken to a hospital, Thomas said.

He was as of 12:19 p.m., Denver police said in a post on X.

UPDATE: Briefing regarding officer-involved shooting at 4363 S. Quebec St.

— Denver Police Dept. (@DenverPolice)

Denver’s homicide unit, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation and the State Patrol are investigating the shooting.

The man’s name will be released by the medical examiner’s office.

Deputies were searching the backyard of a home in the 6900 block of Dexter Street when a 32-year-old man emerged from the house with a gun, according to a .

Deputies “gave commands to the man” before two deputies shot him, sheriff’s officials said. Officials did not specify Tuesday morning what those commands were and said it was unknown if the man had fired his weapon.

It’s unclear if the man was connected to the earlier stabbing, which happened about one-tenth of a mile away from the shooting scene just after 1 a.m. Tuesday, near the intersection of East 70th Avenue and Dexter Street. That man fled before law enforcement arrived, prompting deputies to search the area, according to the sheriff’s office.

No deputies were injured in the shooting.

Paramedics took the man shot by deputies to the hospital with unknown injuries. His identity had not been released publicly Tuesday.

The deputies involved in the shooting were placed on administrative leave pending the results of the investigation, standard procedure for police shootings, sheriff’s officials said.

This is a developing story and may be updated.

The man, 58-year-old Joseph Frank Martinez, was shot after police officers responded to a 911 call about a man outside with a gun in the 1000 block of South Quitman Street on April 7.

Police officials initially said Martinez was in an alley when the shooting happened but on Wednesday clarified he was in the backyard of a home.

Although a family member had told police they thought Martinez’s weapon might not be real or functional, officers were still dealing with a man carrying and pointing what looked like a rifle, Cmdr. Matt Clark said in a

Officers were at the scene with 3 minutes of the 911 call and spent more than an hour trying to talk with Martinez, Clark said.

“The subject responded to the officers intermittently but refused to answer questions, did not comply with directions and generally responded with profanity,” he said.

At one point, a family member came out of the house and tried to wrestle the rifle away from Martinez but couldn’t get control of it, Clark said.

A shows Martinez pacing around the yard and intermittently pointing the rifle before walking toward the southeast corner of the yard, where Clark said a Denver SWAT officer was positioned on the other side of the fence.

The officer believed Martinez was going to shoot him and fired on him five times, Clark said. A SWAT team then approached, secured the rifle, took Martinez out of the yard and started CPR. He was pronounced dead at a hospital.

A shows police trying to convince the man to surrender until moments before he was shot. The officer’s camera was facing a fence, but the officer can be heard using his radio to inform others Martinez was coming toward him and then telling Martinez to drop the weapon.

Investigators later determined the weapon was a pump-style BB rifle with a metal barrel, Clark said.

The shooting is being investigated by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, the State Patrol, the Denver district attorney’s office and the police department’s homicide unit.

Aurora police responded to the complex in the 14000 block of East Stanford Circle at 3:30 p.m. after receiving a call from Aurora Mental Health about a man experiencing a mental health crisis, Chief Todd Chamberlain said in a briefing Thursday evening.

A mental health clinician responded to the scene alongside police and talked with the man by phone. The man was threatening to kill himself and others and wanted to kill or be killed by police officers, Chamberlain said.

The man refused to continue talking with the crisis response team after about 25 minutes. When the clinician tried to talk to him through a window, the man was seen holding a large butcher knife to his neck.

A group of officers was staged nearby when the man suddenly burst out of the apartment, charged one of the officers and repeatedly stabbed him in the head with the butcher knife, Chamberlain said.

The stabbing was so forceful that the tip of the knife broke off inside the officer’s head, Chamberlain said, but the officer was able to fire his gun and shoot the man during the attack.

Other officers on scene tried to use less-lethal force, including a Taser, to stop the man as the stabbing unfolded in a matter of seconds, the chief said.

Paramedics took the officer to a hospital, where he was in surgery Thursday evening. The knife-wielding man was taken to a hospital by ambulance and pronounced dead.

The man killed will be identified by the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office.

The injured officer joined the Aurora Police Department in 2002, according to a news release from the department. He is also a canine handler and has been assigned to the department’s police dog unit since 2012. His dog sustained minor injuries in the Thursday incident but is expected to recover.

“I thank God that our officer is not dead,” Chamberlain said. “I thank God that our officer is in surgery, and I’m so thankful that he survived this.”

The man had a history of mental health issues, including suicidal ideation, and it appears police had responded to that address at least one time before Thursday, Chamberlain said.

“The Aurora Police Department, our patrol assets, our clinicians and our crisis response team did everything we could possibly do to resolve this without the incredibly tragic conclusion,” Chamberlain said.

The 18th Judicial Critical Incident Response Team is leading the investigation into the police shooting. The Aurora Police Department will also conduct an administrative review of the incident.

Denver police responded 911 calls about a man with a gun in the 1000 block of South Quitman Street at 3:41 p.m. Tuesday and found an armed man hiding in the alley between Quitman and Perry streets, according to the department.

Officers tried to get the man to surrender for more than an hour as he hid behind objects and pointed the gun at people, said in a briefing Tuesday night.

The man started walking toward an officer while still armed and did not follow commands to drop the weapon, which is when the officer shot him multiple times, Thomas said.

Denver police confirmed the man had died in a at 10:19 a.m. Wednesday and said the shooting investigation is ongoing.

Police officers responded to the 1000 block of South Quitman Street at 3:41 p.m., Chief Ron Thomas said at a briefing Tuesday night.

Officers tried to de-escalate the situation for more than an hour. The man hid behind objects in the alley between Quitman and Perry streets and intermittently pointed the gun at people “throughout this entire situation,” Thomas said.

When the man started moving toward an officer and did not follow commands to drop his weapon, the officer shot him multiple times.

The man was taken to the hospital by ambulance. Additional information about his condition was not available Tuesday night, but he likely lives in the area, Thomas said.

There were already a large number of officers and first responders nearby because the confrontation was turning into a barricade situation, Thomas said.

The man did not fire his gun, and no officers were injured.

Denver homicide detectives, the Colorado State Patrol and Colorado Bureau of Investigation will investigate the shooting and present the results to the Denver District Attorney’s Office, Thomas said.

The officers were working as part of a Metro Task Force in the 1200 block of North Academy Boulevard in East Colorado Springs at about 11 p.m. Saturday when they spotted a “suspicious vehicle,”

The officers, who were conducting “proactive enforcement” at the time, saw a man and a woman in the vehicle who they were “previously aware of.” The statement doesn’t say how the officers knew the people in the car.

“After initiating contact with the vehicle and identifying themselves as police, the adult male, who was the vehicle’s driver, attempted to flee from officers,” according to the statement.

The car got stuck trying to drive away and officers commanded the people to exit the vehicle, telling the man he was under arrest and that they may use deadly force. The woman got out of the car but the man, who police haven’t identified, stayed in. He then fired at least one shot toward officers, according to the statement.

Three Colorado Springs officers then shot the man. They then pulled him from the car and administered aid until medical personnel arrived. He died at the hospital.

Police interviewed the woman and said her involvement is “still under investigation.”

the police department to release all body-worn camera footage and audio within the next 21 days.

One deputy from the El Paso Sheriff’s Office was present for the shooting but didn’t fire their weapon. The El Paso Sheriff’s Office will be the lead investigative agency for the killing.
