Greeley Police officer and suspect injured in shooting

The officer's injury was not life-threatening, and the suspect was taken for treatment but police did not give any details on his condition.

GREELEY, Colo. — A Greeley Police officer and a suspect were both injured in a shooting overnight.

The 19th Critical Incident Response Team (CIRT), which is investigating the shooting, said officers were involved in an active investigation in the 2100 block of Wedgewood Court just before midnight on Friday when they encountered an armed man.

The suspect fired gunshots at the officers, who then returned fire, according to CIRT.

One officer was injured but it was not life-threatening, and the suspect was transported to the hospital for treatment. CIRT did not provide any details on the suspect's status.

CIRT did not release any additional details surrounding the shooting.

Anyone with information is asked to call investigators at (970) 400-2934.

Anyone with information can also contact Northern Colorado Crime Stoppers at info@nococrimestoppers.com or 1-800-222-8477. Tipsters can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward of up to $2,000. 

Calls to the Northern Colorado Crime Stoppers are not recorded and the phone does not have caller ID, according to the NoCoCrimestoppers website. A coordinator completes a tips information form, makes initial inquiries and passes the information along to investigators. 

A two-way dialogue system online also allows tipsters to come back and provide additional information and ask questions.  

A community board of directors meets regularly to evaluate arrests and determine reward amounts.
