Officer shooting in Arvada

[Irving]

News articles aren't updated yet and calling this an active shooter situation, but I believe the shooter has already been killed. Here is an article, but I can find almost nothing. I guess a press conference is happening around 5pm?

Uh oh, and 1 officer has been shot… I have half a dozen friends in that department.

It sounds like two officers shot, and one killed. Still have no idea what happened. Sounds like they are keeping the media back right now. Press conference pushed back another hour.

Channel 7 interviewed a lady show said she heard one shot, then 6-7 shots. Don’t know if that is it. Also she saw a guy being taken out in handcuffs. Reports of two shooters, but that always seems to be in error. Lots of interest on a Dually Ford(?) pick up.

Bad guy, police officer, and a ‘good samaritan’ are dead. No details. Someone come to the aid of the cop and killed for it? Started off with suspicious activity call. What a shame.

Monday evening, the Arvada Police Department confirmed Officer Gordon Beesley died in the shooting. Beesley, a 19-year veteran with the department, was also a school resource officer at Oberon Middle School who worked patrol while school was out for the summer

The “good Samaritan“ has either been identified or explained. I read a report that someone who saw the shooter said he looked “detached“.

i’m fine with withholding the other two identities to give the police officer the recognition that he deserves. But with the media the way it is anytime they slow roll something I think they’re screwing around. Obviously the “good Samaritan“ means some thing, but they aren’t explaining it. Rendering aid? A CCW that engage the shooter? Something in between?

One report said three bursts of gunfire. A final burst doesn’t fit into the bad guy shooting himself.

I don’t mean to speculate but when they withhold stuff and tease out just the smallest bits it leads you to try to figure out what they are trying to imply.
