The Eighth Judicial District Critical Incident Response Team has been activated for an officer involved shooting.

On October 12, 2026 around 5:35 p.m., Colorado State University Police received a report of a person acting erratically near Newton Plaza on Main Campus. An officer responded and located a man, who was armed with a handgun and advanced toward the officer. Gunfire occurred and the suspect was shot. The officer immediately rendered first aid, and the suspect was transported to an area hospital for care. No other injuries have been reported. This was not an active shooter incident.

CIRT was activated and responded to take over the officer-involved shooting investigation. Fort Collins Police Services is the lead investigating agency and any further information regarding this incident will be released by that agency.

Today, we remember the lives lost in the tragic attacks of September 11, 2001—25 years ago. We honor those whose lives were taken, and we hold their families and loved ones in our hearts.

We also pay special tribute to the first responders—the firefighters, police officers, paramedics, and rescue workers—who ran toward danger with courage and selflessness. Many gave their own lives that day in the service of others. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Join us this evening at the Northern Colorado 9/11 Memorial and Stair Climb at Canvas Stadium as we honor the heroes we lost that day.

We are deeply saddened to hear about the tragic loss of a Larimer County Sheriff’s Office Deputy, a Sergeant, and a family member of the Sergeant. Words cannot fully convey the sorrow and grief that comes with such a sudden and devastating event.

To the families, friends, and colleagues of these incredible individuals, please know that you are in our thoughts during this difficult time. These men were not only dedicated public servants but also beloved members of their community who made a lasting impact through their service, courage, and commitment to making the world a better place.
The loss of such remarkable individuals is felt far beyond the agency they served. As a community, we stand with Larimer County in honoring their memory and supporting their loved ones.

Larimer County, we’re heartbroken to share information about a sudden and tragic loss within our agency.

On June 16, an LCSO Deputy, Sergeant, and Sergeant’s family member were vacationing together on a motorcycle trip. The men were traveling on a North Idaho scenic highway when a pickup truck attempted to pass another vehicle in a marked no-passing zone. The truck crossed the double yellow centerline and collided with the motorcycles, killing all three riders.

The truck driver was arrested and booked into the Idaho County Jail on three counts of vehicular manslaughter. Idaho State Police are investigating this crash.

Out of respect for their families’ strong desire for privacy, we aren’t identifying the deputies at this time.

There are no good words in a situation like this. Put simply, these were incredible people who dedicated their lives to making Larimer County better every single day. They trained hard, they served well, and they loved life. As we walk the long and winding path of grief alongside their families, our resolve is stronger than ever:

For them, we’ll bring light into dark places.
For them, we’ll stand for good and fight against evil.
For them, we’ll live each day with gratitude and carry their legacy forward.

Rest easy, brothers. We’ve got it from here. 💙
