A Weld County Sheriff's deputy was killed and a suspect was wounded in a shootout in Evans this morning following a car chase that at times exceeded 100 miles per hour.

Sheriff's spokeswoman Margie Martinez said the officer chased the suspect on foot and was shot by the suspect. Other officers returned fire and wounded the suspect. Both the wounded deputy and the suspect were taken to North Colorado Medical Center.

The Weld County Coroner's office said the officer died.

The chase began with a report of a robbery in Morgan County, said Greeley Police spokesman Sgt. Joe Tymkowych. Officers from several agencies pursued the suspect as the four-door black Nissan sped through Weld County, at times driving on the wrong side of the road to elude officers in Greeley and Evans. Officers at one point put stop sticks in the road to try to stop the vehicle, which crossed the county line at 10:35 a.m.

With smoke rising from the car, the suspect eventually stopped at 11:02 a.m. in a housing subdivision in the area of Coyote Lane and Cedar Lane, south of 37th Street and 35th Avenue. Tymkowych said it wasn't immediately known whether the suspect had any connection to the subdivision.

At least 25 police cars were on the scene after the shooting, along with an ambulance and a fire truck. Officers had the entire area cordoned off, and neighbors stood on their porches watching.

One woman who saw the chase said she heard about six shots.

Christina Goss, who lives about two houses away from the shooting scene, said she heard sirens and looked outside as the chase ended. She saw a man in a white shirt run from the car and then she heard a shot, with an officer falling to the ground. She said other officers who surrounded the car returned fire, and she heard five or six shots. The suspect then fell.

Goss said another officer covered his fallen comrade with his own body during the shootout until CPR could be started.

A spokesman for the Morgan County Sheriff's department declined to provide any details on how the incident began and referred all questions to Weld County authorities.

Fort Morgan Police Chief Keith Kuretich and Fort Morgan County Undersheriff Dave Martin would not release any information about the events that unfolded in their jurisdictions.

I hope they butt rape him with a splintered broom stick and drag him around town behind a car before beheading him and feeding him to the hoggs!
