Chaos unfolded in the early hours of the morning as Larimer County Sheriff’s Office deputies engaged in a high-speed pursuit with an alleged impaired driver, resulting in a reckless chase and shots being fired. According to the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office, at around 3:30 am, the suspect's vehicle failed to heed law enforcement's signals to stop in the vicinity of Harmony and Ziegler in Fort Collins, prompting the pursuit.
The deputy's vehicle took a hit from gunfire during the chase, though, fortunately, no injuries were reported in the incident. The suspects continued their flight eastbound into Weld County before eventually abandoning their vehicle on Highway 392 west of I-25, where all occupants proceeded to flee on foot.
In a high-tech twist to the manhunt, drones were deployed to locate the six individuals who had scattered from the scene. Law enforcement's coordination and use of aerial surveillance culminated in the successful capture of all suspects involved. Residents in the area had been advised to stay indoors via an Everbridge notification, which was later lifted after the situation was resolved.
