Manhunt Ends With Fugitive Shot, Captured

(CBS/AP)  Authorities said a suspect in a possible Colorado homicide who led police on a massive manhunt before taking several people hostage at a home in eastern Kansas has been apprehended.

At a news conference Saturday police said that the suspect was shot by law enforcement and taken to a hospital.

Authorities had been looking for Jesse Dennis Dimmick because he may be connected to a possible homicide in Aurora, Colorado.

CBS Affiliate WIBW reports that a man was found beaten to death in a hotel room there on Thursday morning.

WIBW also reports that, in addition to the Colorado homicide investigation, Dimmick is wanted in North Carolina, Louisiana and Colorado on multiple felonies, namely burglary.

Dimmick was the focus of a massive manhunt that started at around 2:30 a.m. Friday when a Geary County Sheriff's Deputy tried to pull over the driver of a pickup for a traffic violation on I-70. The suspect took off and the deputy pursued. The suspect went off the interstate and onto county roads, eventually wrecking the vehicle. He then fled.

The Sheriff's Office said the vehicle the suspect (believed to be Dimmick) was driving was reported stolen from Greeley, Colo.

Authorities said evidence at the scene suggested a second person might have been in the vehicle with Dimmick, but they do not have a description of who that person might be.

Geary County Undersheriff Carlos Roman said authorities again pursued Dimmick in another stolen vehicle Saturday morning.

A witness told WIBW that he saw Dimmick driving a purple van away from police. He said his tire blew out; Dimmick abandoned the vehicle and started running.

Dimmick then entered a house where, police said, he held a couple captive for hours before falling asleep. The couple escaped unharmed.

Topeka Police Capt. Jerry Stanley said that authorities then stormed the house, where they confronted the man. The suspect was shot, but his injuries were not life-threatening.

A "possible Colorado homicide?" Was it "possibly" in Colorado? Or was it just "possibly" a homicide (man beaten to death - hey, maybe he did it himself!)
What kind of woosie journalism refers to someone beaten to death as a "possible Colorado homicide?"

Oh well, the judge will give this man a good talking to, and he will be back on the street in no time. Got to be very careful. Don't want to cause cruel and unusual punishment.

Highly doubtful, Klem.

There are many crimes to be investigated, according to the article, that may involve this person.

There is no reason to mis-treat him, first of all because he hasn't been convicted of any crimes yet. After any convictions, you can be certain that the appropriate sanctions will be administered. Most likely this person will never see the light outside a prison yard again, especially if the beating death mentioned in the article is shown to be his work.

It is called civilization, and while the concept is the bane of neos everywhere, it is the only guarantee that humans will survive even into the near future.

It didnt say if he was even armed, but I'll tell you one thing, they sure as hell ahoot better than you can I bet so shut up

Why is it that our police officers cannot seems to shoot straight?

A hypothetical explanation.

Lets say a loved one of yours, who paid for years on a life insurance policy, was killed by this person, who is wanted for several crimes in other states, but you don't know this yet.

The insurance companies, vultures and welshers that they are, tell you they won't pay up until the cause of death is determined.

Now if the police had shot him to death, information that would help settle your case dies with him.

You "shoot first" neo idjits are so ignorant, you become funnier every day.
