Officer shooting in Arvada

[FromMyColdDeadHand]

RIP

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.
