LONGMONT — An armed man who was wanted on a sexual assault warrant was shot and killed by police officers in Longmont, Colorado.

Deputy Police Chief Jeff Satur tells the Times-Call newspaper in Longmont that three uniformed officers and an officer in training contacted the man outside a movie theater at about 9:45 p.m. Thursday.

Satur says officers first deployed a stun gun on the suspect before one officer yelled that the man had a gun. Two officers fired their weapons.

The man died at the scene. His name has not been released.
