WINDSOR, Colo. — A Colorado Springs man convicted on several weapons-related charges for shooting at police in Windsor last year was sentenced by a judge Tuesday to more than 200 years in the Department of Corrections.

Damien Jackson, who was found guilty on Aug. 1 of shooting at police outside the AmercInn in Windsor, had been found guilty on several counts, including five counts of attempted first-degree murder, first-degree assault, and menacing.

Jackson had allegedly set off a fire alarm at the hotel and then jumped on an arriving fire truck and refused to come down, according to the investigation team.

Several area law enforcement agencies responded, and the suspect was safely taken into custody after the gun battle in the presence of hotel patrons and staff, the report states.
