Infant in Crosshairs During Domestic Standoff | Colorado Springs News

Saturday night in Pueblo, Colorado, turned deadly when a man armed with a handgun threatened a woman and their baby during a domestic dispute — then fled with the infant. Police called it kidnapping as he barricaded himself in a parking lot, fiddling with a backpack while officers demanded he put the child down. After he placed the baby in a stroller but continued to tamper with the bag, an officer fired, killing the suspect. The child was unharmed, the woman was hospitalized but released, and the suspect died at the hospital. His identity is withheld pending family notification. The officer involved is on administrative leave as the Critical Incident Response Team investigates this harrowing event involving a child caught in the crossfire.
