After receiving several reports about a person in a pickup driving erratically on I-70, troopers caught up with the truck near Highway 58. The driver complied with being pulled over—until he pulled out a gun and started shooting at troopers, police said. The truck sped off and got onto Highway 58, but soon after lost control of his truck near the Coors factory. Troopers had followed him, and he shot at troopers again, and troopers shot and killed him.
