(FOUNATIN, Colo.) — An officer-involved shooting in Fountain on Sunday, Nov. 20, resulted from a domestic violence incident, according to the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office (EPSO).

EPSO said the Fountain Police Department (FPD) responded around 6:45 p.m. to the 6900 block of Village Meadows Drive, after a woman called the EPSO Communications Center and said her husband was drunk and wouldn’t let her leave her home with their son. She managed to escape the home to a neighbor’s house to call 911, but her son was still in the home with her husband.

EPSO said shortly after officers arrived on scene, a man stepped outside the home and fired at least one round from a gun at responding officers. At least one officer returned fire, hitting the suspect at least once. No officers were injured during the gunfire.

The child was immediately rescued from inside the home, and he was uninjured.

EPSO said the suspect “violently resisted” officers’ efforts to take him into custody, and a Taser was used. The suspect was then transported to the hospital and taken into surgery.

A shelter-in-place order was issued for the surrounding neighborhood, and has since been lifted.
