A gunman shot at Custer County Sheriffs Office deputies from inside a residence northeast of Westcliffe on Wednesday, according to the sheriffs office.

The shooting, which happened around 11:15 a.m. on Rocky Ridge Road, forced people in a 5-mile radius to shelter in place, according to Sheriff Rich Smith. No injuries have been reported.

Smith said that just over an hour earlier, a call came in about a man blocking the road with his vehicle.

Smith said that the sheriffs office has been in crisis negotiations with the suspect since the shooting earlier Wednesday morning.

As of 2:55 p.m., negotiations continue; however, the man continues to fire from the home, according to the Custer County Sheriff's Office.
