Police shot and killed an armed suspect after responding to a family disturbance in a central Colorado Springs neighborhood Saturday night.

Police said in a social media update that the disturbance, reported just before 5 p.m. at a home on the 3100 block of Illinois Avenue, near Hancock Avenue and Fillmore Street, involved multiple family members, including one who reportedly had a gun.

Police said two family members had exited the home before officers arrived, but one had remained inside the home with the armed suspect.

“Due to the safety concerns for the family member still inside the home, officers began safety planning, and making arrangements to contact the residence’s occupants. While preparations were being made, the officers came into contact with the suspect, who was armed with a firearm,” police wrote.

According to police, the suspect did not comply with officers’ commands to drop the gun. Police said the suspect raised the gun toward officers, prompting two officers “to fire at least one shot,” striking the suspect.

Police said that the officers provided immediate medical aid, but the suspect died at the scene.

The involved officers have been placed on administrative leave, per department policy.

In accordance with state law, the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office will be the lead investigative agency for the shooting.
