Susan Medina, spokeswoman for the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, said Carrigan served his community "in a superior way" during a press conference Wednesday afternoon. It happened at 9:48 a.m. on Wednesday when police say eight deputies were trying to serve a high-risk eviction notice at 36 Iris Drive. Eight members of the sheriff's office — including Sheriff Fred Wegener — converged on the snow-covered, three-acre property on Iris Drive Wednesday morning for what they termed "a high-risk writ of restitution." "Wirth came out on his deck paused and then went back inside," the sheriff's office said in a statement. "Officers quickly followed Wirth inside the residence. As they entered, police say Wirth fired at the officers. Officers returned fire," Undersheriff Monte Gore explained in a news release.

 Master Patrol Deputy Kolby Martin, an 11-year veteran of the office, was shot multiple times in the lower extremities and was in critical condition at St. Anthony Hospital in Lakewood. Captain Mark Hancock, who has 21 years experience with the Park County Sheriff's Office, was grazed in the ear.  A suspect is dead after shooting three deputies -- one of which died and another who is in critical condition -- Wednesday morning in Bailey. Federal, state and law enforcement officials from other counties came to Bailey to assist in the investigation. On Monday, a Denver police officer was shot by a burglary suspect, who was later shot and killed by officers following a brief chase. READ: Martin Wirth was an Occupy Denver activist 
 
 In a Facebook posting in January, Wirth said he had clashed with police before and "one cop repeatedly punched my face and knocked out two of my teeth after others piled on.
– One sheriff's deputy was killed and two others were injured during a shooting in the "picturesque town" of Bailey, Colorado, on Wednesday morning, the AP reports. The suspect was also killed by deputies returning fire, the Denver Channel reports. One of the deputies who was shot has life-threatening injuries, according to the Denver Post. 9News identified the deceased deputy as Nate Carrigan, who had been with the Park County Sheriff's Office for 12 years. A Colorado Bureau of Investigation spokesperson says the resident of the home, Martin Wirth, was armed with a rifle and attacked the deputies. The Post says Wirth was an Occupy Denver activist who faced foreclosure after defaulting on the house in 2013, and notes that the Colorado Foreclosure Resistance Coalition had called for a "non-violent eviction resistance" for Wirth, who "has been an invaluable part of Occupy Denver from the very early days." Wirth also ran for Colorado senate in 2014—the same year Fannie Mae took control of his home—as a member of the Green Party, losing to a Republican incumbent.
