CIRT Activated for Officer-Involved Shooting

The Eighth Judicial Critical Incident Response Team (CIRT) has been activated to investigate an officer-involved shooting.

On November 16, 2025 at 2:32 a.m., a Larimer County Sheriff’s Office deputy attempted a traffic stop near Grand Market Avenue and TPC Parkway in Berthoud. The driver refused to comply and drove at high speeds. The deputy performed a PIT (precision immobilization technique) to stop the vehicle on Hwy 60 just east of I-25. The suspect accelerated towards the deputy, and the deputy fired his service weapon.
 

The deputy sustained minor injuries, and was treated and released from the hospital. The suspect also sustained minor injuries. He was treated at an area hospital and taken into custody. There was an adult passenger in the suspect vehicle who was not injured.

CIRT was activated and responded to take over the officer-involved shooting investigation. Fort Collins Police Services is the lead investigating agency and any further information regarding this incident or charges will be released by that agency.
