From KUSA:
JEFFERSON COUNTY - Police and deputies are investigating after gunfire erupted at a party in Mountain View early Saturday morning, later leading to an officer-involved shooting.
The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office says reports came in just after 2:45 a.m. on Saturday that shots were fired at 4300 Fenton Street in Mountain View.
When Mountain View Police arrived, they found several shell casings and blood on the steps leading to the front door of the home. Police say people inside the home refused to come out.
Deputies say a Jeep was seen leaving the area and officers from Lakeside and Wheat Ridge Police stopped it at the corner of Fenton Street and 44th Avenue. During the stop, a green Lexus drove past, then made a U-turn and drove toward the officers in what they called "an aggressive manner."
Police from both departments opened fire on the Lexus, which then sped away west on 44th Avenue. A trooper from the Colorado State Patrol chased the Lexus, but after it evaded the trooper, he stopped the chase.
Police say the Lexus was stolen from Arapahoe County and was later found abandoned at 14th and Raleigh Street.
At about 3:10 a.m. a man was dropped off at the St. Anthony Central Hospital emergency room doors by an unknown vehicle, with a gunshot wound to the knee. Deputies are trying to figure out if his injuries were related to the shooting at the home on Fenton Street.
Meanwhile, a SWAT unit was called in at the home in Mountain View and five people were eventually removed. One of the people inside, a man, was taken to the hospital after having a seizure, deputies say.
Deputies continue to investigate.
