Per CPD policy the three officers involved in the shooting have been placed on administrative leave while the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation investigates the incident.
Reports are unofficial, but the Douglas Budget newspaper is reporting that that the dead man is Scott Ramirez, and the shooting occurred in the parking lot of St. James Catholic Church.
It's become some sort of tradition with Cheyenne Frontier Days---offer a little bit of everything in the first two days. Art Show. CINCH Rodeo Shootout event. Rock-n-Roll.
