HOT SULPHUR SPRINGS, Colo. –  Authorities in Colorado say a Michigan man who died after an altercation outside the home of a sheriff's deputy and a prosecutor was shot multiple times.

Grand County coroner's officials said Wednesday that 32-year-old Joshua Lee Stevens, of Coral, Mich., died of gunshot wounds to the torso.

Authorities say a deputy district attorney for Colorado's 14th Judicial District called 911 late Monday to report a stranger behaving erratically outside her home. Shots were fired after the person tried to force his way in.

The prosecutor and her husband, who is a sheriff's deputy, had minor injuries.

Stevens was believed to have been in town about a week, looking for work.

Authorities say there are no obvious ties to other recent shootings, including the death of Colorado's prisons chief.
