(COLORADO SPRINGS) — The Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) issued a shelter-in-place order for the area near North Nevada Avenue and I-25 while officers worked to place into custody a man who earlier allegedly had threatened someone with a rifle.

According to CSPD, on Tuesday, June 11 at around 11:45 a.m. officers were called to the 5400 block of North Nevada Avenue about a man who allegedly threatened someone with a rifle in an apartment complex in the area.

Police were able to find the man identified as 30-year-old Emmanuel Alfaro and tried to contact him.
