Suspected Carjacker Shot And Wounded At Douglas County Campground
CASTLE ROCK, Colo. (AP) — Authorities say a 29-year-old man who carjacked a vehicle and shot at other vehicles was himself shot when he threatened a camper at a campground in Pike National Forest.
The Douglas County Sheriff's Office says the man was shot multiple times and taken to a hospital where he was in stable condition.
The man's name wasn't immediately released.
The sheriff's office says the incident occurred Monday afternoon, starting with a carjacking in neighboring El Paso County and ending at the Devil's Head Campground in Douglas County.
The man drove a stolen vehicle into Pike National Forest shooting at passing vehicles along the way. Stopping at the campground, the man pointed a rifle at a camper who then shot him.
No one else was injured. Charges are pending.
