According to PPD, when officers contacted the suspects, shots were fired by police. The suspects then drove the vehicle in reverse into a flea market area hitting at least one person, who was taken to the hospital with serious injuries.
Police said the suspect driver died on the scene. Another suspect in the car ran from the area but was arrested a short distance away. No officers were injured, according to police.

The involved officers were placed on administrative leave per standard protocol,” said PPD. “The Pueblo Police Department does not draw any conclusions about whether the officers acted consistent with our policies and the law until all the facts are known and the investigation is complete.”
