CHEYENNE (WNE) — One person was killed and a sheriff’s deputy was injured during an incident Monday night in east Cheyenne.
Deputies with the Laramie County Sheriff’s Office attempted to serve a warrant in the 6900 block of Horse Soldier Road just before 8 p.m., according to an official post on LCSO’s Facebook page.
“Shots were exchanged between deputies and the suspect,” per the post, timestamped 10:47 p.m. that night.
This is the third officer-involved shooting in Laramie County this year.
The deputy who was shot was taken to Cheyenne Regional Medical Center by ambulance, according to local law enforcement. The deputy was released from the hospital Tuesday afternoon, Sheriff Danny Glick told the Wyoming Tribune Eagle.
Glick declined to name the deputy, citing privacy concerns.
A Tuesday afternoon Facebook update from LCSO said the male suspect was pronounced dead at the scene. Glick declined to answer how the suspect was killed.
No one else was injured or killed in the incident, he told the WTE.
The sheriff declined to say what the warrant was for, nor did he want to comment on why a warrant was being served on Halloween night.
“I know there will come a time when we will release the information that led to us being there,” Glick said.
The officer-involved shooting is being investigated by the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation. There is currently no ongoing threat to the public, according to the sheriff’s office.
