POSTED AS AN ADVISORY TO THOSE IN COS ONLY - DO NOT TURN THIS INTO A CONVERSATION ON POLICE TACTICS, ETC.
Around 4:30 pm today CSPD exchanged gunfire with a suspect in the area of Vickers & Union Blvds.
The suspect was able to flee the scene (sounds like it was on foot) and is still on the loose.
People are advised to avoid the area and if you live in the area to stay inside with doors/windows closed and locked & shelter in place.
Suspect information is vague but is described as a white male, approximately 30 years old last seen wearing a gray sweatshirt and light blue jeans.
For reflection:
KOAA and KKTV have this as their lead story on their websites.
KRDO top story... .gov shutdown vote.
Granted, they gave it a red BREAKING NEWS banner at the top of the page, but Sweet Baby Jesus, how about we pull our nose out of corporate's arse a bit, and actually report local NEWS!!
Hopefully this will be resolved with minimal negative consequence. Be safe.
ETA: I stole that "BE SAFE" thing from CSTONE for this post. Thanks CSTONE.
UPDATE: FFS...... Now KKTV has .gov shutdown as lead story.
Active shooter has been relegated to second place BREAKING NEWS banner.
That's right. Lead story (with video) .gov shutdown,
First breaking news banner - .gov shutdown vote
Second breaking news banner - active shooter
ETA: At this point, KOAA (NBC affiliate, surprisingly enough) is still leading with active shooter story.
Be safe. Don't shoot to tickle.
Got stuck in all the mess on the way home. This is not too far from my house. The lack of information is a little frustrating. I am sure it's under control judging by the number of bored looking cops standing around the scene, but it would be nice to know more.

That is definitely better than the news. And a pretty cool system updating all the important calls for the public. That's nice.

Shlitz.....if I was planning a cross burning after the annual clan barbecue, I would've asked him to mind the brisket and watch my children at the same time.

Poser. Clan is spelled with a âKâ.

6'6" and 205. That would have been a hard take down if not compliant.
Maybe, 205 is on the skinny side for 6'6".

Dude's gotta have reach though. Lanky folks are hard to control, at least in hand to hand combatives. Not sure how it differs for LEO methods.

You just have to aim a little higher, right?

I think for some folks they should aim lower.
