COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV) - Northbound I-25 was closed Monday evening following a chase that started in Pueblo and ended in Colorado Springs. The chase involved Colorado State Patrol and Fountain Police.
Colorado State Patrol assisted with the chase and was able to provide brief details on the incident that happened at about 5:30 p.m. According to Trooper Josh Lewis with Colorado State Patrol, stop sticks were used on northbound I-25 to disable the suspect vehicle in the area of Woodmen and I-25. The vehicle was believed to be used in a robbery. Soon after the vehicle hit the stop sticks, Colorado Springs Police are reporting a trooper used a marked vehicle to make a “tactical intervention” on the suspect vehicle.
The chase came to an end just south of the N. Academy Boulevard exit on I-25. As law enforcement officers were giving verbal commands to the suspect, at least one shot was fired by a Fountain Police officer striking the suspect.
Trooper Lewis said life-saving measures were being performed on the driver of the suspect vehicle and at least one passenger was taken into custody. Colorado Springs Police are reporting the suspect was taken to the hospital.
No law enforcement officers or civilians were injured.
Colorado Springs Police is investigating the incident as an outside agency because it was an officer-involved shooting. It isn’t cleared what department or agency was involved in the shooting.
Traffic cameras put in place by the City of Colorado Springs showed a U-Haul truck up against the median with CSP vehicle right next to it and an ambulance behind it.
The highway is expected to be closed through the night and possibly into Tuesday morning.
