The German police said on Wednesday that a 37-year-old suspect who allegedly shot a police officer outside a subway station after injuring another passenger was living with his father in Colorado, according to the reports.

Munich police chief Hubertus Andrae said that the suspect was only identified as a Bavarian-born German citizen.

The suspect entered Munich from Athens on Monday and stayed at the airport all night, Andrae said. The suspect was on a European Trip.

Andrae did not exactly mention where in Colorado the suspect was living, but German media reports suggested that the suspect's name is Alexander B. Bild and he was staying in Fort Collins.

According to the witnesses, the suspect was on the subway in Munich, talking to himself in English when he began punching a passenger in the face.

Police officers questioned the suspect after he got off the subway. A video footage from a surveillance camera showed an officer taking notes when the man shoved him with “extreme violence” toward an oncoming train.

Andrae said that the suspect then got hold on to officer’s gun and opened fire at the officer. but he missed the officer whose weapon was taken but hit the officer in her head.

Two bystanders were injured in the incident after they were believed to have been hit by the eight shots that were fired. They were taken to a hospital and are stable, Andrae said.

The suspect managed to flee the scene despite being hit at least once in the buttocks by the officert. Later the suspect was apprehended.

The injured officer was taken to a hospital and was in life-threatening condition Wednesday.
