Officer Down University and County line

[Joe_K]

From what I have gathered at least two deputies entered the Apartment on a mental health call. At some point after entering, and it does not appear as though they forced entry inside, the unnamed dirtbag produced a rifle that had been modified to full auto, or to simulate full auto, and began to shoot at the officers. I am curious if this horrible event will change SOP’s for LE in handling Mental Health calls.

The roommate provided the key to the apartment door.

Curious where you heard that it was modified to be full auto or simulate full auto.

Looks like 4 went in. And doesn’t sound modified to me

From KDVR:

Deputies returned to the apartment after 5 a.m. with the goal of placing Riehl in what's called a mental health hold.

Body camera video shows the deputies moving away clutter from a hallway leading to Riehl’s bedroom.

“They have a little bit more concern at this point," Adsit said as he watched the video moments before footage showed shots being fired. "There’s a shield that they’ve brought in.”

Riehl began shooting from inside his bedroom -- behind a closed door -- catching deputies off-guard.

Parrish was hit instantly and could be seen falling to the ground while his fellow deputies -- Mike Doyle, Jeff Pelle and Taylor Davis -- retreated.

Once realizing Parrish was down, the other three deputies -- who also had been hit by gunfire -- went back into the apartment. Doyle attempted to aid Parrish.

“What an amazing hero," Adsit said. "[Doyle] did what all of us would hope to do in a situation like that."

Riehl, though, continued firing, forcing the other three deputies to get out of the apartment. Once outside, Doyle, wounded himself, tended to Pelle.

The videos also show SWAT officers' response to the scene standing guard outside the apartment complex before Riehl was killed.

Just what it sounded like from the audio I heard.

Looked at the photos today. There was no bump stock mounted, and the safety on the weapon did not look like the proprietary safeties that come with the Franklin or Fostech binaries. In fact, it appears to have a 45° selector, which isnt compatible with either, as far as I know.

The man who killed a Douglas County sheriff’s deputy on New Year’s Eve and wounded four others had 15 guns inside his apartment and all were acquired legally, according to the sheriff.

Of those 15 guns, 11 were in working condition, Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock said.

Matthew Riehl fired four of them -- an M-16, an M-4, a shotgun and a handgun. The guns are still being examined, but from visual evidence, none appeared to be fully automatic, Spurlock said.

Then there isn't an M16
