A man is dead after a police shooting in Colorado Springs outside a Walmart.
The man “produced a handgun” at the Walmart and “at least one officer fired at least one round at” him early Wednesday, according to a Colorado Springs Police Department posting on the social media site X. “Officers began rendering medical aid until medical personnel arrived” and the man died at the scene, police said.
Around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday, police spotted an unoccupied stolen white Chevy truck in the Walmart parking lot at 3201 E. Platte Ave. Working with police officers inside the Walmart, they identified a man and a woman who had been in the stolen truck.
Police approached the two as they were leaving the Walmart. That’s when the man pulled the gun and the police fired, the police postings said.
Nobody else was injured. Police said the woman was detained and then released. The store was closed.
The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office will investigate the shooting, police said.
