He was wanted on a domestic violence charge but embarked on a crime spree.
"That was the same subject as the home invasion that occurred on Elm Meadows View. That party did steal a car from that house," said one Colorado Springs police officer.
Investigators are not saying who fired first. The officers involved have been placed on routine administrative leave.
The El Paso County Sheriff's Office is investigating that deadly shooting.
