Man dead after officer shooting in Colorado

Police in Colorado say a man has been killed in a shooting that involved officers.

The Denver Post reports that Lakewood police spokesman Detective Ty Countryman says officers had been monitoring a suspicious vehicle in a Motel 6 parking lot on Tuesday. Countryman says a man approached the car and officers tried to question him, but he ran off on foot.

After a foot chase, the man fired at officers and they returned the shots. The man was declared dead on the scene.

Three officers have been put on pay administrative leave. Countryman says that is a standard policy.

Officers also questioned a woman who was a passenger in the car.
