A Bowie Police burglary suspect was shot in Colorado on Feb. 17 as he fled from officers in a stolen vehicle.
On Feb. 11, local police obtained warrants for Roy Dale Gilmore, 38, Oklahoma, in connection with Jan. 18 burglaries at Allen’s Texaco and Bowie Butane.
Lt. Randy Hanson, Bowie criminal investigation division, said he was informed last Friday that Gilmore was reportedly shot near Gunnison, CO, two nights earlier.
“On Friday I got a call from a Colorado newspaper wants some of the back story on Gilmore. She asked what I thought about how he was captured, I told her I didn’t know, which is when she said he had been shot, but it was non-life threatening,” explained Hanson.
