A man who shot an armed carjacking suspect on Rampart Range road was a retired police officer from Alabama.
51-year-old Wesley Mattox shot 28-year-old Austin Benson last Monday.
Benson is suspected of six counts of attempted murder after he stole a car in El Paso County and shot at passing cars on Rampart Range road.
No one was hurt. Benson drove onto a campsite and began yelling.
Wesley Mattox told Douglas County deputies Benson pointed a rifle at him and Mattox grabbed an AR-15.
Benson began driving and hit a tree, where Mattox shot him several times. Mattox was not injured.
