An FBI agent was wounded Friday afternoon while serving an arrest warrant at a Littleton motel.

The agent was taken to Swedish Medical Center with injuries that were not considered life-threatening.

At 7:15 p.m., officials announced that the suspect had been found dead in the room on the second floor of the Essex House Motel. They would not say how he died, but law enforcement had fired no shots.

Police SWAT teams had been surrounding the hotel in the 5300 block of South Santa Fe Drive ever since the 4:15 p.m. incident, unable to contact the suspect.

Littleton police Lt. Trent Cooper said the suspect fired two shots at members of the Safe Streets Task Force, hitting the agent in the leg. The officers fired no shots, he said.

The suspect had been tracked to the hotel by the task force, according to Mike Rankin, special agent in charge of the Denver FBI.

South Santa Fe Drive had been closed Friday afternoon in both directions between West Bowles and West Belleview avenues because of the police activity, which included officers from Littleton, Denver and Greenwood Village, and the FBI. Surrounding streets were also closed, and residents and hotel guests were evacuated.

Rankin would not confirm that the officers were attempting to arrest the “Longhorn Bandit,” who is wanted in connection with nine bank robberies or attempted bank robberies.

“Maybe at a later date,” he said.

However, FBI spokeswoman Amy Sanders told The Associated Press that the task force was serving a warrant in connection with the robberies committed by a man often wearing a cap with a Texas Longhorn logo.

The “Longhorn Bandit” is wanted in heists across the metro area that began in February, most recently on Monday at the Public Service Credit Union, 5155 W. 120th Ave. in Broomfield.

In some of his early crimes, he wore a cap with a Texas Longhorn logo on it.

“It’s terrifying,” Cooper said of the agent being shot. “It’s frightening. It’s a situation where you are trying to be as safe as possible, but when you hear over the radio that an officer is down, it’s the worst thing you can possibly hear.”
