A robbery suspect died Sunday in southern Colorado after being shot by Pueblo officers and stabbing himself, police said.
Pueblo officers responded to reports of a robbery in the 1100 block of Bonforte Boulevard just after 8 a.m. Sunday, according to a news release from the police department.
Officers found a man and a vehicle matching the robbery suspect’s description about two miles away from the initial robbery, near East Eighth Street and North Glendale Avenue, police said in the release. The suspect led police on a chase down Eighth Street, where he eventually crashed in the 700 block.
The man, who has not been publicly identified, pulled out a knife after the crash and didn’t comply with officers’ commands to drop the weapon, according to the release.
That’s when he was shot, police said. It’s unclear how many officers shot the man, how many times he was shot and where he was injured.
After being shot, the man stabbed himself an unknown number of times, according to the Pueblo Police Department. Officers used tasers to subdue and disarm him.
Police said multiple officers on scene provided medical aid after the man was disarmed, and paramedics took him to the hospital, where he later died from his injuries.
