OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 08/05/2025 at approximately 9:14 p.m., officers with the Craig Police Department and deputies from the Moffat County Sheriff's Office responded to a 911 call reporting a domestic disturbance with shots fired at a residence in the 1200 block of Crest Drive in Craig. Responding officers secured the area and determined that an armed man, later identified as Shaun Burdick, 52, was believed to be inside the residence.
Because of the reported gunfire and threat to public safety, the Moffat County Special Response Team was activated. Crisis negotiators from the Craig and Hayden police departments made repeated attempts to establish communication with Burdick over several hours but received no response. Prior to any tactical entry, officers deployed a drone operated by the Steamboat Springs Police Department to survey the property.
Live drone footage showed Burdick lying on the ground between vehicles near the residence with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Members of the Special Response Team conducted a tactical approach and confirmed that Burdick was deceased. No law enforcement officers or other individuals were injured during the incident.
The Craig Police Department is leading the investigation with assistance from the Moffat County Sheriff's Office. Authorities identified the decedent as Shaun Burdick on August 6, 2025. The investigation into the domestic violence incident and Burdick's death remains ongoing.
