A woman in Larimer County was shot by deputies from the sheriff's office after a high-speed chase early Tuesday morning, following an attempted traffic stop. According to KDVR, the incident began when a deputy, conducting a routine check near Highway 402 and East Frontage Road, attempted to pull over the suspect's vehicle after finding that the owner had an outstanding warrant and a revoked license.
The woman, refusing to stop, led multiple deputies on a chase through west Loveland. The pursuit reached speeds over 100 mph, despite deputies deploying spike strips to end the chase safely, as noted by Denver7. Upon stopping at Wheatridge Court, and County Road 18, the woman reportedly exited the vehicle while armed with a gun, which precipitated the shooting by two deputies on the scene.
Following the shooting, officers at the scene provided first aid before paramedics transported the woman to the hospital for treatment, as per The Denver Post. The officers involved in the shooting and bystanders were unharmed. The incident will now be the subject of an investigation by the Eighth Judicial District Critical Incident Response Team, with the Loveland Police Department leading the inquiry.
