Head of Colorado's Prisons Assassinated

Fifty-eight year old Tom Clements, the Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Corrections was assassinated, Tuesday night.

According to a 911 call, he said he had been shot after answering his door bell.

When El Paso County Sheriff Deputies arrived, at his Monument home, they found he had died from his wound.

Police described the home as secluded, and that there was no sign of a robbery attempt.

Due to this they believe that it was a purposeful targeting of Clements.

A neighbor witnessed a "two door, boxy vehicle" near the property, before the time of the shooting and then leaving afterwards.

At this time, police have no suspects, but the investigation is going off of what leads they have.
