Published 1 week, 2 days ago
Description
In Colorado Springs last week, police responded to multiple incidents including crashes, arson, a bomb threat, and an officer-involved shooting. The Colorado Springs Gazette reports 345 arrests countywide, with CSPD handling several crashes, an arson case, and an arrest tied to alleged child sexual abuse.
On April 4 near North Academy Boulevard and East San Miguel Street, a Metro Task Force from CSPD and El Paso County Sheriff's Office contacted a suspicious vehicle. The male driver, later identified as 40-year-old Benjamin Greenfield, fled, fired at officers, and was shot by three CSPD officers. Greenfield died at a hospital. The female passenger was detained on an unrelated warrant. El Paso County Sheriff's Office leads the ongoing investigation into the officer-involved shooting; CSPD officers are on administrative leave.
Earlier in the week, KRDO reports police responded to a bomb threat at Penrose Hospital. The incident was resolved without injuries; investigation status pending.
Additional calls involved traffic crashes across the city and an arson fire in an unspecified area, both under investigation per Gazette recap. No suspect descriptions released for public assistance.
Significant trends include a high volume of arrests amid proactive enforcement, with shootings and threats highlighting risks in traffic stops and public sites.
For tips, call CSPD non-emergency at 719-444-7000 or El Paso County Crime Stoppers at 719-634-7867.
