Copy from arfcom:
UPDATE, 10:18 AM: Scanner traffic has indicted that additional shots have been fired at the scene.
UPDATE, 10:15 AM: Denver Police Det. John White is saying that police received a call about a robbery in progress at this Radio Sack location. When they arrived on scene, they were fired at.
White said he cannot confirm details about the hostages, but he believes the suspects are still inside.
DENVER — Denver police have confirmed that shots were fired near the intersection of Glencoe Street and Colfax Avenue, and that hostages are being held at a nearby Radio Shack store.
All of this is causing a bevy of police to descend on the store and form a large barricade around the address of 5305 East Colfax Avenue. Scanner traffic indicates that hostages are being held by two masked suspects inside the store.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, too.
Hope they don't do anything else stupid, like hurt an innocent person.
lord, please protect the hostages
AMEN to that - protect the hostages and the police officers...
My thoughts and prayers with all the DPD and innocents involved. Hopefully this is resolved swiftly and peacefully.
I will add this- if only a responsible, competent CCW holder had been shopping there when the aggressor(s) came in....
The news just made it sound like a single gunman had one civilian hostage and two police officer hostages. Hope this ends good
Radio Shacks have been bad luck lately. Last week Wheat Ridge PD went to a robbery at a radio shack. The suspect had a hot stolen car that he stole in Wheat Ridge about an hour prior. Then he tried to run over the cops that were there. Denver and Lakeside ended up catching him in Denver. Prayers for the hostages. Someone from the inside should have shot those SOBs.
Just fired up my scanner app (yea, there's an app for that) ...

The scanner just said that they are building ballistic blankets. Anybody know what that is?

"Let my dad talk to him, he's probably the only one that can save him."
"He's a nice kid, only got in trouble a couple times, been to jail, but he's a good kid." Right...

I just checked out his FB page- we have a mutual friend... [Help]
I love how his shirt says "Born Stunna" yet here he is robbing a Radio Shack. Trying to become a "stunna" by robbing other people and businesses. Pathetic.

I want to see him "Check In" at the Radio Shack.[ROFL1]
I always wondered if Radio Shack was a front for something else...I mean there is never anyone in there how the f can they stay in business?

Plenty of guns right down the street a couple of blocks...... and a great place for FFL transfers.
What does a radioshack in that location sell? Those little propane torches for 'soldering'?

I wonder if the responding LE's got one of those IR thermal imaging scopes on their rifles? I mean thats what Homeland Security grants are for...
I gave up on the scanner, DPD went to a private channel. No fun listening to the FD talk about lunch.

You can't go anywhere these days without being constantly on guard not even Radio shack.... My thoughts go out to the families involved...

HEY! Maybe they have a tape deck for my car... [Coffee]

hopefully he is, and they are waiting for the coroner to bag him up, so he don't get probation and kill somebody the next time he decides to do something stupid. i'm tired of these little sob's, they need to tag and bag a few of them so the others will get the hint imho.

Too bad even if he did kill someone the next time he would get Double Super Secret Probation, not the chair like he deserves.

Pretty much exactly what it sounds like. It's a large, blanket-sized ballistic shield...looks like a blanket. It can be used to cover windows, doors or you can use it as a wall to hide behind. You can even walk with it to provide cover. They can be thrown over a vehicle as makeshift armor. Pretty handy item to have if you're expecting to be shot at.
It's over
DENVER (AP) - Police say a hostage has been released unharmed and two suspects are in custody after a 6-hour armed standoff with officers at a Denver RadioShack store.
Police Chief Robert White says one or both suspects fired a weapon during the standoff Friday but no one was injured.
White says a robbery was reported at the store shortly before 10 a.m., and officers arrived while two suspects were still inside.
People in nearby businesses were told to stay indoors and a portion of busy Colfax Avenue was closed.
RadioShack released a statement saying the company was "praying for a safe resolution." Company officials declined further comment.

That looks like it could work...I haven't tried it though!![Coffee]

Let's try this again, slower this time so you understand.
I t... w a s... a n... a r m e d... r o b b e r y gone bad...
Crime happens 24/7, so the frequency of events that actually get publicized is meaningless. Further, what would the conspiracy be? Orchestrated crimes?

Sounds like a conspiracy to me! What part of this doesn't smell like one to you??? [ROFL1][ROFL2][ROFL3]
Huh. I've been in that RS a couple of times, it's the closest one to my office. Who'd figure it would have any cash at 10am? Oh, duh....the same idiots who would ROB it.
Too bad there wasn't some grumpy old CCW'r in there to toss some bleach in the gene pool.

cut a hole in the center for your head and you got yourself a bullet proof snuggy. Survive a shootout sitting on the couch with your popcorn.

Watch the news over the next few days, you'll have answers to this. He's going DOC after this.
