UPDATE: An assault suspect who was shot on Thursday afternoon by deputies in Larimer County later died in a local hospital.
Deputies were attempting to apprehend the suspect when “shots were fired by law enforcement,” the sheriff’s office said. The suspect was taken to a local hospital where he died. No deputies were injured. The landfill was closed by the shooting.
On Thursday morning a woman reported to the sheriff’s office that she had been assaulted earlier this week by a man she knows, according to a news release. That man had allegedly broken into her home and threatened her and her children with violence. The woman told investigators that he was mostly likely armed.
The suspect was tracked to the landfill where “two deputies fired their weapons hitting the suspect,” a sheriff’s office news release said. “A handgun was recovered next to the suspect.” The Larimer County Coroner’s Office will identify the man who died. He was not an employee of the landfill. An investigation is ongoing.
