Douglas Weishaupl, 53, of Loveland, was shot on May 26 after a vehicle pursuit that began in Larimer County ended in the area of County Road 38 and Interstate 25 Frontage Road near Mead.
On Tuesday, Weld District Attorney Michael Rourke issued aJustin Smith regarding the officer shooting. The 19th Judicial District Critical Incident Response Team conducted an investigation, which was provided to the DA’s office. Based on the investigation and Colorado law, Rourke has determined that Corporal Justin Calkins was justified in using lethal force, firing his weapon, in the incident.
On the day of the shooting, the Larimer County Sheriff Special Enforcement Unit attempted to contact and arrest Weishaupl, who was wanted on outstanding warrants, the decision letter said. Weishaupl was seen at a Safeway store in Loveland and was pursued in a high-speed chase. Weishaupl was a passenger in a car driven by Tyger Browder.
Browder told investigators that Weishaupl forced him, at gunpoint, to flee authorities. At one point, Weishaupl “fired in the direction of deputies,” the investigation found. Ultimately, the vehicle pursuit came to an end in Larimer County near Mead, in the area of County Road 38 and Interstate 25 Frontage Road. Weishaupl got out of the car and fled toward a field where he was surrounded, the letter said.
