Brothers suspected in deputy's death open fire on police
Twin brothers Joel and Michael Stovall, 24, known as loners who wore camouflage, are suspected in the deputy's killing and a critically wounded officer. After a daylong pursuit into Arkansas River canyons, about 100 officers and National Guard helicopters captured them. Police found guns, knives, and possible bomb ingredients at their Penrose home. The brothers, with no adult criminal records, previously worked at Canon City's penitentiary. They allegedly shot a neighbor's dog, then a deputy in Penrose before taking a couple at gunpoint and firing on responding officers in Florence.
