THORNTON, Colo. — A statewide manhunt was on Thursday for two men accused of shooting another man in the head outside the Home Depot store in Thornton.

The shooting happened just after 2:30 p.m. in the 10000 block of Grant Street.

Police say road rage started the violence ending in a man hospitalized with single bullet to his head.

It’s not the quick trip to the Home Depot a 33-year-old Northglenn man had planned as a tow truck hauled away his car.

At 2:34, police got the call for help and swarmed the home improvement store’s parking lot.

“One vehicle cut the other off. The suspects followed the victim to this current location here and when the victim got out of his vehicle, he was confronted by the passenger of the suspect vehicle who then fired a round during an altercation,” says Thornton Police officer Matt Barnes.

That shot hit the victim in the head, his blood marks the front left bumper of his gray Acura.

“They fled in a black, smaller-type Toyota pickup with a brush grill and a dent on the front,” says Barnes.

Police say the suspect descriptions are vague. But the driver is an Hispanic man with dark skin and earrings in both ears. The suspected shooter is either white or a light-skinned Hispanic, 5-foot-6, sandy brown hair and a dark jacket.

Police used a drone to take flight over the parking lot–giving officers an aerial view of the crime scene and all evidence.

It’s information that’ll help prosecute the suspects, if they can catch the suspects.

And no one hopes that more than the victim.

“We were able to talk to the victim when we arrived on scene,” says Barnes, which police hope is a good sign for his survival.

He’s a man who, unfortunately, found that a quick trip to a home improvement store, has made his life a little worse.

Police believe it was the suspects who cut off the victim when entering the parking lot.

They may be driving a Toyota Tacoma which they say had lots of clutter in the bed of the truck.

Police were hoping to release surveillance pictures of the suspects and their truck, but the Home Depot camera was not at an angle where police could see the violence.
