The Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has released details on an officer-involved shooting that occurred Wednesday evening in Chaffee County.
Richard Chad Borrego, a 54-year-old Pueblo man, faces numerous felony charges, including:
- Two counts of attempted first-degree murder of a peace officer
- Two counts of first-degree assault
- 18 counts of menacing
- One count of prohibited use of a weapon
The incident began after Chaffee County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to a domestic violence call on County Road 227 in Garfield, west of Salida. Borrego allegedly fired at officers during a standoff, prompting law enforcement to return fire, striking him in the arm.
Borrego is under guard at a Colorado Springs hospital in stable condition and is being held without bond. No officers were injured. The investigation into the shooting is ongoing, with involved officers on administrative leave.
