Shots Fired Call Results in Barricaded Suspect

On July 07, 2024 at approximately 10:15 A.M., Pueblo Police were sent to the 1700 block of Constitution Road on the report of shots fired. Additional information was received that a juvenile was injured during a disturbance.

Officers learned an adult male and his juvenile child were searching for the child's stolen bicycle when they observed it in front of a residence. The adult male confronted the residents about the bicycle and a disturbance occurred.

The juvenile was struck by a bullet. Thankfully, the bullet decelerated enough to cause only minor injuries. In an abundance of caution, the child was transported to a local area hospital for treatment and will be released.

The Pueblo Police Department SWAT Team was activated to assist in handling a barricaded subject at the residence.

This is an active and ongoing investigation. There will be no further statements at this time.
