A woman was shot at, and believed to be injured by, a Pueblo police officer after driving into a police cruiser Sunday night, according to the agency.
An unidentified Pueblo officer attempted to pull over a white Dodge Dart at E. Abriendo and Jones avenues, near Interstate 25, shortly after 9 p.m. Sunday, according to a news release from the police department.
The Dodge driver refused to yield, turned around and drove toward the Pueblo officer, police said in the release.
The officer repeatedly ordered the driver to stop, but she drove into a marked police car and a separate parked vehicle, police said. That’s when shots were fired and the driver fled the scene.
Police were searching Monday for 39-year-old Cassandra Lake, who investigators believe was injured. The Dodge was found the night before, under a tarp in the back of a burned-down Pueblo residence in the 1800 block of E. Routt Avenue, police said.
That block is just 1/5 mile away from the intersection where the shooting happened.
No Pueblo officers or other bystanders were injured, police said.
