ORIGINAL STORY:

Cañon City Police are telling people in the northeast part of town to stay indoors as officers search for one of two suspects who ran off after a car chase. The other suspect has died.

Police say just before 11:00 a.m Sunday, they received reports that Pueblo Police were following a vehicle with two people inside, at least one of them was a homicide suspect.

Pueblo police chased the vehicle westbound on Highway 50 into Cañon City. Police say the vehicle became disabled in a field behind a home on Central Avenue near Field Avenue. That's when the people got out of the car and took off running.

Police say officers chased the two suspects as they fled on foot. One suspect was confronted by police, and officers report shots were fired. That suspect is dead, we currently don’t know if any law enforcement agents fired their weapons.

As of now, we have not gotten reports of any injured law enforcement agents.

This is still an ongoing investigation.

We have crews on the scene and we will update this article as we learn more information.
