    FORT COLLINS, Colo. — Police in Fort Collins are looking for two men who shot and injured a woman whose car the suspects were trying to break into early Monday morning, according to a department release.

    It happened around 1:20 a.m. in the 700 block of Crown Ridge Lane in Fort Collins.

    Police said the victim was awoken by a family member who had observed two men breaking into her vehicle, which was parked in front of her home.

    The woman ran outside to confront the suspects, at which point one of the two men fired multiple shots, striking the victim in the leg, according to police.

    The suspects — described as two males wearing dark-colored clothing, hoodies, and backpacks — fled on foot before officers arrived, police said in the news release.

    A 42-year-old man fatally shot by Fort Collins police during an armed confrontation at Grandview Cemetery in July was a suspect in a 2019 cold-case homicide, police officials said Friday.

    Clayton Pierce was shot by Fort Collins police on July 21 after he crashed his vehicle near City Park and fled the scene armed with an “AR-style” rifle and handgun, according to a decision letter published by the 8th Judicial District Attorney’s Office on Friday.

    Pierce was involved in a single-vehicle rollover crash and left the scene armed with two “ghost guns,” or guns without serial numbers, which are illegal to own, sell or create.

    Pierce was also carrying a bottle of bourbon with the words “His last day” written on it, according to the district attorney’s letter.

    He pointed the rifle at responding police officers and shot one officer in the arm, according to the agency. He then walked into Grandview Cemetery, where he was fatally shot by police.

    Pierce had twice the legal driving limit of alcohol as well as methamphetamine, THC and gabapentin in his system at the time of his death, according to the letter.
