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.
The woman was transported to the hospital, where she was treated for her injuries and has since been released.
