I thought for sure someone would have posted this by now
CASTLE ROCK - Thousands were awakened near midnight by emergency notifications, and police in the streets using bullhorns trying to alert residents that a seven-hour manhunt for an armed gunman was underway in their neighborhood.
Around 11:30 p.m. Wednesday, Castle Rock Police received a call that there was a suspicious man with a gun hiding in the bushes near Appleton Way and S. Ridge Rd.
Around 7 a.m., Castle Rock Police were able to arrest the suspect who allegedly fired on police Wednesday night.
When police arrived on the scene Wednesday night, they determined there was a domestic-violence incident in the area. Their investigation led them a few blocks away to a home in the 1200 block of South Ridge Road where a man shot several rounds at the officers on scene.
None of the officers were injured. The officers did return fire but did not injure the suspect.
"This is still very much an active scene. All we're saying is officers were shot at. Other than that right now the primary focus is trying to locate the suspect," said Sgt. Ron Hanavan, a Public Information Officer with the Douglas County Sheriff's Office, before they caught the suspect.
Several agencies including a Denver Police Department helicopter, the Douglas County Sheriff's Office Regional SWAT Team, the Castle Rock Police Department were searching fields just south of the Castlewood Ranch neighborhood and the Founders neighborhood for him.
Police say the suspect they captured was 41-year-old Lonnie Pebley. He is described as a white, bald, male with tattoos. Pebley may be wearing blue shorts and no shirt or possibly a yellow shirt.
Details regarding Pebley are not being released at this time.
