COLORADO SPRINGS — An officer with the Colorado Springs Police Department is on administrative leave Wednesday after an officer-involved shooting Tuesday evening.
Police say that nobody was injured as a result of the shooting which took place at an Apartment Complex along Delta Drive around 9:30 p.m. Officers said they responded to the apartment complex after receiving a call for a road rage incident involving a firearm.
As officers were attempting to contact the suspect, they said a person opened the apartment door with a raised handgun that was pointed at officers. In response to this, at least one officer fired one round.
The suspect was later taken into custody without incident and was unharmed according to police.
The El Paso County Sheriff's Office will investigate this incident as is policy with officer-involved shootings. CSPD will have a significant event briefing 21 days from now releasing the body camera footage of the incident under policy.
