-Fort Collins, CO. -July 12, 2022. In July of last year, a man forced our deputies into a life-threatening confrontation. The man purposely drove in a reckless manner on Timberline Road with the intention of getting pulled over. When an LCSO deputy stopped him, the man pulled out a handgun and fired 17-18 shots. Multiple rounds struck the deputy's vehicle, including the hood, door, and light right next to his head. At one point, the deputy ran out of ammunition and didn't have a chance to reload before the suspect approached him and fired another round. A second deputy arrived and fired, striking the suspect and stopping the violent attack. Miraculously, the passing drivers, law enforcement personnel, and a K9 in the first deputy's vehicle were all uninjured. Once the scene was safe, deputies began providing lifesaving first aid until EMS arrived, and the suspect ultimately survived. The suspect was prosecuted for his crimes, and he was recently sentenced to 34 years in prison. Now that the case has concluded, we're releasing body camera footage from the incident. This offers a jarring perspective into the unknowns and dangers that law enforcement professionals face each time they start a shift. I'm extremely grateful that no innocent people were physically harmed that night. That being said, incidents like this take a less visible but very real toll -- on deputies, families, the agency, and our community as a whole.
