LINCOLN COUNTY, Colo. – The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office in Colorado has reported that one of its deputies was ambushed and shot “several times” while responding to a call regarding a theft early Thursday morning, KDRO reported.

According to the sheriff’s office Facebook page, the agency dispatched a deputy regarding a “theft in progress” just after 3:00 a.m. Continuing, they wrote, “A deputy arrived a short time later and was ambushed being shot several times. The deputy called for assistance and numerous agencies responded.”
