COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — A Colorado state parole officer who was struck and killed by a suspect while attempting to serve a warrant was identified as Christine Guerin Sandoval during a press conference Friday afternoon.
“Upon arrival our officers determined that three parole officers had attempted to contact a suspect who was known to them in the parking lot of a business at that intersection,” said Ira Cronin, Colorado Springs Police Department Public Relations Manager. “While attempting to flee, the suspect struck two of the parole officers with his vehicle and then fled the location.”
