COLORADO SPRINGS – Officials have released the names of the victim and the officers involved in a police shooting in Colorado Springs.
Police said Friday that Sgt. Mark Keller along with officers Lucas Aragon and Cole Jones were involved in Tuesday evening’s shooting.
The Gazette of Colorado Springs reports the officers are on administrative leave while the El Paso County sheriff’s office investigates the death of 38-year-old Joshua Vigil.
Lt. Jim Sokolik said officers responded to a report of a man with a gun, and Vigil drove away when officers confronted him. He wrecked the car and officers found him near an apartment building. Sokolik said at least one officer fired a shot at Vigil.
Vigil is the fourth person killed by Colorado Springs police this year. Two of the shootings have been ruled justified and a third remains under investigation.
