Police Shoot Man Holding Woman Hostage In Larimer County
FORT COLLINS, Colo. (CBS4/AP) — Police in Larimer County shot and killed a man who had taken a woman hostage in a mobile home park northeast of Fort Collins.
The incident began about 11 p.m. Friday and ended with the man, identified as Phillip B. Salazar, 38, being shot about 2:30 a.m. Saturday.
Lt. Bobby Moll of the Larimer County Sheriff's Office says the initial call to police reported a domestic disturbance.
Moll says it turned into a barricaded and hostage situation when police arrived.
"The SWAT team arrived and they came out with negotiators and after a lengthy negotiation and barricaded episode shots were fired and the subject was deceased," said one Larimer County Sheriff's Office spokesman.
Police did not immediately release the name of the woman and they provided no other details about the incident.
Moll says the incident remains under investigation.
