Officers Kill Kidnapping Suspect After Chase

WESTMINSTER, Colo. (AP) — Police officers shot and killed a 34-year-old man who was wanted for kidnapping, auto theft and domestic violence.

Northglenn police later disabled the car and the man ran away.

When officers caught up with him they saw he was armed. A Northglenn officer shot and killed him.

The man's name has not been released. Police did not specify what type of weapon he had.

There are no reports of officers being injured.
