Colorado deputy, suspect hospitalized after shooting during Cañon City barricade situation

A deputy and a suspect were both hospitalized after what was described as a barricade situation on Friday evening in southern Colorado, according to the Fremont County Sheriff's Office.  

The incident happened in Cañon City, on the 1400 block of Chesnut Street. According to an update Saturday morning from the Colorado Bureau of Investigations, the standoff began as a welfare check, and the 27-year-old man inside the home was "involved in a barricade incident." The sheriff's office said that the deputy advised of shots fired, and the standoff lasted a few hours.

CBI reported that the suspect was armed and was shot by the deputy. The man was taken to an area hospital for treatment of what authorities said were non-life-threatening wounds. The deputy was also taken to a local hospital after he suffered what CBI said was a "medical event" and was later released.

The deputy has not been identified, nor has the suspect.  

CBI agents said they found what appeared to be several explosive devices inside the residence, and the Pueblo Metro Bomb Squad was called in. They determined the devices were inert and safely seized them.

Authorities are reviewing footage from the deputy's body camera as the investigation continues. They said they expect the suspect to be taken into custody once he is released from the hospital. He is facing charges of first-degree assault, menacing and prohibited use of a weapon.
