TELLER COUNTY, COLO. -- The man accused of shooting at deputies during a welfare check has been caught after a brief search Thursday morning.

According to Teller County Sheriff's deputies, Kai Skov shot at a deputy car early Thursday morning when deputies were conducting a welfare check, allegedly because Skov had said he had a gun.

Skov fired two rounds into the air and one round at a deputy car. Nobody was hurt in the shooting, but Skov fled into a nearby wooded area, and deputies could not immediately locate him.
