FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) - Fort Collins officials say police officers shot and killed an armed suspect just north of the city.
The Coloradoan reports (https://noconow.co/2bMKGn7 ) officers responded to a domestic disturbance report Thursday and saw the suspect entering a home illegally. The suspect, identified as 63-year-old Jerry Jackson, of Fort Collins, exited the home on officers’ orders, then approached them while brandishing a weapon.
Officials say officers tried to use a stun gun, but it was ineffective in stopping Jackson’s advance. Officers then shot the man.
Police spokeswoman Kate Kimble says more than one officer fired on the man and that all involved have been placed on paid administrative leave.
The multi-agency Critical Incident Response Team is investigating the shooting.
