COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- The man who Colorado Springs Police officers shot Wednesday night remains in critical condition at an area hospital and will face charges when he is finally released.
The man, 21-year-old Colorado Springs resident Robert Cole, was shot at by three officers and was hit twice.
Officers were called to a domestic dispute at the Camelot Apartments in the 400 block of South Murray Boulevard around 8:28 p.m. Wednesday. The caller said Cole was fighting with his girlfriend and had threatened to kill her.
