OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On 11/04/2025, beginning around 3:30 p.m., officers from several agencies pursued a stolen 2025 Chevrolet Silverado from Monument through Colorado Springs into Pueblo County. A state-trooper aircraft tracked the truck and deputies attempted a grappler stop near Mile Marker 110 on I-25. The man exited the highway at exit 108, drove west on Purcell Boulevard, and fired at least one gunshot at pursuing officers. The truck ended up stalled in a field near Purcell Boulevard and Fairbanks Avenue, where he reportedly opened fire again. A Monument police officer then returned fire, hitting him. Emergency personnel and Pueblo West firefighters rendered aid before the man was airlifted to a Colorado Springs hospital. The PCSO’s 10th Judicial Critical Incident Response Team is investigating.
