WINDSOR, Colo. — Windsor police say officers shot and killed a 39-year-old man Monday night.
Multiple people made 911 calls reporting a suicidal and possibly intoxicated man who was being argumentative and armed with a gun, according to a news release from the Greeley Police Department Monday. When officers arrived on the scene of the domestic disturbance call at a home on Sunflower Drive just after 9 o'clock Monday, police say the 39-year-old was uncooperative and armed with a shotgun.
The man fired three rounds before officers returned fire and shot him. He was taken to a nearby hospital in an ambulance where he was declared dead. No officers or anyone else were injured during this incident.
As the incident unfolded, Windsor police issued a shelter in place order to residents in the immediate vicinity. In a news release Wednesday, Windsor police said anyone living outside that area may not have gotten the message.
And there is no ongoing safety threat to the public, Greeley police said.
The Weld County Coroner's Office has not yet identified the man who died.
The 19th Judicial District Critical Incident Response Team is leading the multi-agency investigation into this incident, which Windsor police said in a news release, is standard protocol for an officer-involving shooting. At the conclusion of the CIRT investigation, the findings will be relayed to the district attorney. The investigation is still ongoing.
