BAILEY, Colo. – Young athletes and others in a small Colorado community are mourning a sheriff's deputy shot and killed while serving an eviction order.
Cpl. Nate Carrigan was a 13-year veteran of the Park County Sheriff's Office who coached football and baseball players at Platte Canyon High School, where he was once a student-athlete.
A gunman who ranted against police brutality opened fire on Carrigan and other deputies who arrived at his home Wednesday, wounding two other officers.
Hours after the shooting, people filled a room for a vigil at Platte Canyon Community Church, where the 35-year-old Carrigan was a member of the youth group years ago.
Mourners included teens in blue-and-white letter jackets. Pastor Terry Rogers said Carrigan was "a local kid who grew up in the community."
The hottest stories ripped from the headlines, from crime to courts, legal and scandal.
