Great, now there’s an active shooter near me

[kpp80202]

And my kids’ schools are on lockdown. Time for gun control. I.e. the police need to put the crosshairs on the perp.

[ray1970]

The story I am hearing is that there was a report of shots fired but they also said no shots fired since police arrived. The report of a man with a rifle was reportedly the first officer on scene.

Fox has a helicopter up and is filming, but I can't get any sound out of their stream.

Ken Caryl & C470 from what I see on the news.

Reports came in as early as 6:45 about shots fired. (At least that's the first I heard about it).

Sounds like the shots stopped when police arrived.

[Irving]

Channel 2 News is saying that people called 911 this morning to report hearing shots, but the police have not been able to confirm any shots fired.

They were stressing that this had nothing to do with a school, just that schools are on lock-out, as well as several restaurants in the area.

[kpp80202]

Jefferson county schools put out a message to all parents that this has nothing to do with the schools. It seems to be located behind the King Soopers at Shaffer and Ken Caryl.

Warranted or not getting that call about the lockdown is stressful. Glad it turned out to be no real risk to the school.

[kpp80202]

I’m glad for the call. I saw the streets blocked off when dropping off my kids and listened on a scanner app to find out what was happening. It was miles away from them, so I wasn’t too concerned. Had it been closer, I would have kept them home.

[Gman]

Seems that they're treating this with an abundance of caution. Report of shots heard around 6:30, no police confirmation of anything, yet recommendations to stay inside.

[glock74]

I got a call and an email from Jeffco schools are on lock down.

[hollohas]

Sounds like all schools south of 285. I'm surprised they haven't lifted the lockdown yet.

Yeah, particularly since they have no confirmation after 3 hours.

[hollohas]

Lockout lifted 3m ago at all schools except Ute Meadows and Chatfield HS.

Got this message from a neighbor this morning which is behind our house (different incident). Nothing when I got home and haven't heard anything more.

[hunterhawk]

Any updated, i have been at work all day.

[Sixgun]

My daughter showed me the video of the shots fired. Sounds like someone screwing around, shooting into the dirt maybe.

[SideShow Bob]

A guy that I work with used this as an excuse to not show up for work until 1330 hrs yesterday (Friday).
You have to know that we at work have started a “€£¥§’s Book of Excuses” . This guy has some real wild ones as to why he is late or needs to take off.....

Somebody's old pickup backfired?

That was my original guess, but after watching the video, I'd agree it sounds more like gunshots.

Not sure. The muffled sounds in-between the string make me question that it's gun shots.

[kidicarus13]

That's what got all of the LE/media attention? Some dude shooting his new can off the deck before work.

[Great-Kazoo]

Ok dropping some geese. There's gun fire around here on a daily basis, not one swat team or any other LE shows up. Probably 1/2 doz blinds around the lake, down the block from the school, end of the street.

[Aloha_Shooter]

Could it be someone with an old-fashioned nail gun? Sounds like there're some echoes but the "echoes" are the louder sounds.

[Irving]

I've heard a lot of roofing going on and that's way too loud for a nail gun. Plus, I'm not sure what kind of outdoor construction would have been going on that day.

[.455_Hunter]

This occurred very near my office. There is a large construction site just to the left of the video's field of view and they start very early in the morning. My bet is on somebody messing around with a cartridge nail gun, authorized or unauthorized.

[hunterhawk]

Good call could be a ramset?..some good walls to echo off of..could have been.. forgot about that construction

[CapLock]

Could be a Ramset. Sounds like Remington Thunderbolts to me. Weak weak....full power shot...weak...

[DenverGP]

Update from Jeffco sheriff today says that the "shots" were actually noise from a malfunctioning generator on the roof of the safeway shopping center building at Ken Caryl and Alkire.

Lol.

“We have a report of backfire in the area.”

[kpp80202]

Wow. Well, good to know I'm not living near Compton anymore. [LOL]

[Gman]

We really dodged a bullet with that whole episode.
