Man shot by Fort Collins officer expected to survive

During the same incident, a man wanted on a felony warrant for burglary jumped from a balcony in an effort to escape and was injured, police said.

FORT COLLINS, Colo. — A man was taken to the hospital for treatment of injuries after he was shot by an officer in Fort Collins on Friday afternoon.

The shooting happened at an apartment complex in the 1200 block of East Stuart Street. Officers with Fort Collins Police responded there around noon for a report of disturbance at an apartment.

Earlier in the day, a man who had a felony warrant for burglary was at the property but left before police arrived. Officers later learned that the man, identified as 40-year-old Isaac Roy Philip Cordova, had returned.

When officers arrived, they found Cordova in an apartment, but he jumped from a balcony in an effort to escape, police said. Officers were able to detain him. He was transported to a hospital for treatment of injuries related to the jump.

According to the department, as Cordova tried to escape, officers encountered several other people who were inside the same apartment, including a man who was armed with a gun.

During the encounter, a Fort Collins Police officer fired his duty weapon, striking the armed man, the department said. That man, identified as 18-year-old Michael Steven Wayne Cordova, was transported to a hospital for treatment of injuries and was expected to survive. No officers were injured.

The Cordovas are father and son, according to the Larimer County Sheriff's Office.

Nearby Riffenburgh Elementary was placed on secure status during the incident, which means the exterior doors were locked but normal school operations were not affected.
