Assist to Colorado State Patrol (CSP): W. County Road (CR) 10E / S. Highway 287 a 31-year-old homeless man from Thornton was contacted by CSP in a stolen vehicle and initially was cooperative. Upon arrival of Larimer County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) deputies, the man was holding a pistol by his side and attempted to take the trooper’s vehicle. A foot pursuit ensued eastbound into a residential construction area by the deputy. At this location the man stole/carjacked a white Ford work van then left the area, last seen westbound on CR 10E from Highway 287. However, a reckless report of a similar vehicle likely places the vehicle eastbound on Highway 56 from Berthoud a short time later. An interview with the man’s girlfriend, who was in the stolen truck, established he made statements just before he got out of the truck that he was going to use the pistol on law enforcement. This man was later located in the Metro area by U.S. Marshalls and was shot and killed.
