As officers attempted to take him into custody, they said the man pulled a gun from his pocket and that is when at least one officer opened fire.
The man was taken to a nearby hospital where he later died of his injuries. None of the officers involved were injured, according to the department.The 10th Judicial District Critical Incident Response Team led by the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office will handle the investigation. In accordance with department protocol, the two officers involved have been placed on administrative leave.
