"They engaged a suspect of auto theft at the Murray Hill Apartments," Elder told county officials Tuesday morning. "A brief scuffle ensued, followed by a shootout with the suspect, who was killed on scene."

Abendschan, a detective, is a regional coordinator for the BATTLE group, which shares a $1.4 million federal grant to target "prolific" car thieves.

Deputies and police went to the apartments just before 4 p.m. to arrest Manuel Zetina, 19, a suspected auto thief. Elder said the deputies wore civilian clothes with body armor vests that identified them as sheriff's officers.

Rather than stop Zetina in the stolen car, or follow him into the Murray Hill Apartments, officers decided to confront him in the parking lot, said Lt. Howard Black, police spokesman, in a news release.

The "brief scuffle" was followed by gunfire as Zetina drew a handgun and began firing. Frantic calls were heard over police radio channels at 3:55 p.m.

So they were working a detail to help get working folks' property back.

POS knows he's caught in the scuffle and decides to shoot his way out. Like that's ever worked with LE?

I am waiting for some legislator in Denver to try and push some gun control thing in light of these 3 sad situations. Yet the media will not point out that these killers don't follow any law that would be created. I am sure I am preaching to the choir here...

It's already illegal to murder someone. When legislators create laws, no matter how redundant or unnecessary, it's a photo-op with self-promotion for their next election. Enforcing existing laws doesn't give them any of that.
