How they died
Deadly force
About 10 a.m., deputies in Saguache County began pursuing a Jeep Patriot that had been reported stolen. The deputies were joined by a Colorado State Patrol trooper and an Alamosa County sheriff's deputy. Driving the Jeep was Nelson Billings, riding shotgun and also possessing a shotgun was Jennifer Sharp, who told 911 dispatchers "People are gonna die" and then shot at officers. Spike strips placed on Colorado 17 blew out the tires and eventually brought the car to a stop. Sharp jumped out with the shotgun and was preparing to carjack another other when she was shot and killed by an officer. Billings picked up the shotgun and killed himself.All officers cleared of wrongdoing.
