CANON CITY, Colo. (AP) — State authorities are investigating a police shooting which left a 28-year-old man dead and a 20-year-old man in his car wounded in southern Colorado.

The shooting happened Saturday night in Canon City.

The Colorado Bureau of Investigation says two Canon City police officers fired shots while attempting to make contact with the driver of a car near a motel.
