I'm still at work here. Word is that there was a shooting in Clear Creek Canyon tonight. Officer stopped someone and someone was shot dead. This is all hearsay at this point, and no idea if it was the officer or a bad guy who was shot. US6 is still closed through Clear Creek.
Anyone have any info on this? Incidents up here tend to get buried so I doubt we'll see anything in the news.

JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. ? Two people were injured ? one seriously ? during an officer-involved shooting in the Clear Creek Canyon area of Jefferson County Sunday night.
According to the Jefferson County Sheriff?s Office, the shooting happened near mile marker 267 on Highway 6 west of Golden.
The sheriff?s office said its deputies were assisting Colorado State Patrol.
According to CSP Major Steve Garcia, a spokesperson with the agency?s Golden office, shortly after 8 p.m., a trooper came across what he believed to be an abandoned vehicle. He ran the plate and discovered the vehicle was wanted out of Denver for a felony. He also noticed two people were sleeping inside.
The trooper called for backup, and the sheriff?s office and Golden Police Department came to assist. The officers then began a felony stop and ordered the people to get out of the car.
?The vehicle began to drive forward and something happened that we?re investigating at this point in time, and there were shots fired by the Colorado State Patrol and the Jefferson County Sheriff?s Office,? Garcia said.
The vehicle then went down an embankment near the creek. Garcia said the adult driver was shot, but a juvenile who was also in the vehicle was not. The driver was taken to St. Anthony?s Hospital with injuries that are life-threatening. The juvenile was also taken to a hospital.
?Her injures were not sustained by any gunshot. I believe it was from traveling down the embankment,? the spokesperson said of the juvenile.
No officers were injured.
Officials did not identify those involved in the incident. It?s unclear if the person who was shot has any kind of felony warrants or whether they own the vehicle.
Highway 6 is closed in the area. Eastbound traffic is being diverted at Highway 119. CSP said the highway may not reopen until 5 or 6 a.m. Monday.
Thanks. Google was not my friend when I searched for this.
Definitely getting airplay on the news this morning.
Speaking of shootings in Golden, did they ever catch that guy that was driving around shooting out of the truck on Lookout mountain?
Great sub-head on 9News:

A man was shot by at least one officer after he was found sleeping in a car that was connected to felony case out of Denver...
They make it sound like the officer(s) just shot the guy for sleeping in his car. And people wonder why no one trusts the news media.
Alarm Glock. Wakey wakey!
