View Full Version : Shots fired - Thornton
I couldn?t get details but I did get pictures. Saw this and first I just thought it was an accident. Got where I was going and someone informed me there was some sort of active shooter situation on Colorado Blvd. I doubt it was an active shooter but I guess maybe there were shots fired by someone?
There is a gold sedan crashed into a fence and wedged against a utility box. When I first passed the scene there was a lot more police presence along with fire trucks and an ambulance. When I came back by fifteen minutes later just a couple of police units and some caution tape.

Termination of a pursuit perhaps? That seems like a pretty fast clear for anything majorly significant. The gold car is still there right?
I don?t know the timeframe of events. When I first passed by assuming it was a traffic incident there were plenty of emergency vehicles and people in the scene and a large fire truck was blocking all of the southbound lanes. They might have already been near the end of the incident by then for all I know.

Almost sounds like a pursuit that ended in a gunfight with the suspect getting away in another vehicle. I hope the PD involved are all safe and that they find this person quickly.

So very happy I moved outta that 'hood...
I bet this fool is from different town.
Thornton,westminster, and Broomfield has issues with crazies coming into cities to commit crimes.

BOLO: The suspect may have stolen a gold Jeep Grand Cherokee from the area with license plate OLD-489
Should be somewhat easy to remember.
Something must still be going on, because there is a helicopter sitting around a bit north and east of me.

The natives are certainly restless. Sure seems like things are a bit more wild than usual.

Had Polis not lifted / eased the covid restrictions. This would not have happened.
I can already see this op-ed piece in the post. They're just finessing the talking points, before going to press.
Oh and gun violence will be in the mix, too
Kidding aside on Vigilante Justice, just having a cheap $30 dash cam would be consider very helpful.
