The Eighth Judicial District Critical Incident Response Team (CIRT) is investigating an officer-involved shooting in Fort Collins that occurred on the afternoon of March 10, 2025.
Suspect Flees on Motorcycle, Exchanges Gunfire with Deputies
According to the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office, the incident began around 2 p.m. when deputies attempted to stop an off-road motorcyclist for traffic violations. The male suspect refused to stop and fled onto the bike path in Edora Park, prompting deputies—who were also on motorcycles—to pursue him.
After stopping, the suspect exchanged gunfire with deputies before falling to the ground. Despite commands to surrender, the suspect did not comply. Due to his close proximity to his firearm, deputies formed a contact team and deployed a K9 unit to pull him away from the weapon. Law enforcement then provided first aid on-site before transporting him to a nearby hospital with serious injuries.
