About 10 a.m., deputies in Saguache County began pursuing a Jeep Patriot that had been reported stolen. The deputies were joined by a Colorado State Patrol trooper and an Alamosa County sheriff's deputy. During the chase, the female passenger allegedly brandished a shotgun. Spike strips placed on Colorado 17 blew out the tires and eventually brought the car to a stop. The man driving the Jeep and the woman, armed with the shotgun, got out of the Jeep. The trooper fired several shots at the man and woman, one of whom allegedly fired a weapon. The woman was killed by law enforcement officers, while the man apparently killed himself,
