Northern Colorado deputy hurt, suspect seriously injured in shootout at park in Fort Collins

A man who was riding an off-road motorcycle got into a shootout with two deputies from the Larimer County Sheriff's Office at a park in Fort Collins on Monday afternoon. The sheriff's office said the man was seriously hurt by gunfire and taken to a hospital afterwards, and a deputy was hospitalized for injuries as well.

The deputies were on motorcycles and first tried to do a traffic stop in the Northern Colorado city at approximately 2 p.m. The man refused to stop his motorcycle and drove onto a bike path in Edora Park near Stuart Street. The sheriff's office says the deputies followed him and that soon afterwards the man got off the motorcycle and began firing a gun at them.

He was shot soon after that, but not before shooting and injuring one of the deputies. First responders administered first aid on the man until he was taken to the hospital. The suspect remains in police custody while he is being treated.

The man's identity hasn't been released.

Officials from the sheriff's office said there was "no ongoing threat to the public" after the shooting.
