Pueblo Police investigating officer-involved shooting near W 17th Street

PUEBLO, Colo. (KRDO) -- The Pueblo Police Department is at the scene of an officer-involved shooting that happened Wednesday morning around 11 A.M. in the west side of town.

According to Pueblo Police, the shooting happened near W. 17th Street and Martin Street. Pueblo Police tell KRDO that officers responded to an owner who located his stolen trailer.

"The suspects menaced him with a firearm. They called the police. Police arrived on scene. There was a brief vehicle chase," Sergeant Frank Ortega said.

Police chased four suspects in a truck to 17th St. and Martin. Then, at least least officer fired multiple times at one suspect.

The suspect is alive, according to PPD. No officers were injured or harmed.

The shooting shut down 17th St. and Martin St. for many hours but reopened after the 10th Judicial Critical Incident team wrapped up their investigation.

This is the second officer-involved shooting in Pueblo this week, and the third of the year so far. One person was killed earlier this week after an incident with Pueblo Police, and that shooting is still under investigation by the 10th Judicial District Attorney's Office.
