Connection between law enforcement shooting at Evergreen Walmart and I-70 closure at Lookout Mountain
The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office in Colorado reported that a law enforcement incident at a Walmart in Evergreen is related to a car crash that has caused the closure of eastbound Interstate 70 at Lookout Mountain. The incident involved a Colorado State Patrol (CSP) trooper and a suspect who both sustained minor injuries but were not shot. After the event at the Walmart, a police chase led to a crash on I-70 near milepost 254. The investigation is ongoing, and reporters from Denver7 are present at the scene gathering more information. CSP stated that eastbound I-70 will remain closed for an extended period, as shown by Colorado Department of Transportation cameras capturing a significant police presence blocking the road. Drivers are advised to avoid the area, and those already on the road are being assisted in turning around. This situation is still developing and further updates will be provided.
