Man shot twice by Weld County sheriff’s deputy east of Greeley

A gunman was shot and wounded Sunday by a Weld County sheriff’s deputy near Greeley, according to investigators.

Around 12:16 a.m. Sunday, deputies responded to a reported disturbance in the 200 block of 2nd Avenue Lane in Weld County, east of Greeley, according to a news release from the 19th Precinct Critical Response Team.

When deputies arrived, they found a gunman who investigators say fired a gun at them while deputies were on the scene. They did not say if the man’s shots were fired at deputies.

A Weld County deputy shot the man — who has not been publicly identified — twice in response, investigators said in the release.

Paramedics took the man to the hospital and he is expected to survive, investigators said.
