An FBI agent shot in the leg at the time is expected to survive. The FBI has not released the agent's name or condition.
FBI spokeswoman Amy Sanders previously said a multi-agency task force was serving the warrant for a suspected bank robber dubbed the "Longhorn Bandit," wanted in connection with six bank robberies this year in metropolitan Denver.
