A man was shot and injured Tuesday night by police outside of a Severance home, investigators said.

Officers responded to a domestic violence incident in the 600 block of Mt Princeton Drive shortly before 9 p.m. Tuesday, according to a news release from the 19th Judicial Critical Incident Response Team.

The release, which was posted to social media by the Greeley Police Department, did not specify whether Greeley or Severance officers responded.

An unidentified officer shot the man once, police said. Paramedics took him to the hospital, where he is expected to survive.

Additional information about the events leading up to the shooting was not available on Wednesday.

The officer was placed on paid administrative leave, pending the outcome of the 19th Judicial Critical Incident Response Team’s investigation into the shooting, police said.
