Colorado BWC Of 2 Officers-1 Shot & Both Return Fire
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado Incident occurred approximately 1:30 pm, 2/2/26, near East Bijou St & Balfour Ave, when a man was acting suspiciously while wearing a mask on a warm afternoon. The man, 35-year-old M Foster, ran when approached, leading officers on a brief chase. Foster turned, pulled out a handgun & fired, striking Officer Mork. Mork returned fire hitting Foster & knocking Foster's stolen gun, a Springfield Hellcat 9mm, away. A 2nd officer (Officer Milbert) arrived ordering Foster to stay on the ground. Foster attempted to flee & twice reached for Milbert's gun during a struggle. Milbert then fired multiple shots striking Foster. Foster was transported to hospital where he remains in critical but stable condition. Officer Mork was also taken to hospital with serious, non-life-threatening injuries & has since been released. Foster has outstanding felony warrants & faces multiple charges, including attempted murder of a peace officer, first-degree assault, 2 counts of resisting & possession of a weapon by a previous offender. Officer Mork has been on the force for 26 years & officer Milbert has been on the force for 8 1/2 years. |

Re: Colorado BWC Of 2 Officers-1 Shot & Both Return Fire
Excellent response from the officers. Good shooting. I’m surprised he lived through getting shot like that. I think Milbert should have added a few more rounds to his suspect. |
