Killers hunted after Colorado officer slaying in Bluff area
San Juan County deputies and 500 officers evacuated the area after Deputy Kelly Bradford was wounded in a report of a camouflage clad man firing at a motorist. Robert Mason, 26, of Durango, was found dead at a campsite five miles east of Bluff. Two suspects, Alan Pilon and Jason McVean, remained sought for the May 29 killing of a Cortez police officer.
