Code enforcement officer Shot

[Warbirdhunter]

Just heard over metro net. An unknown Department talking to DPD asking for cars on a Code enforcement Officer shot 10 min ago. Sounds like they have a huge perimeter set up. Anyone have any info or ears on this??

U/D Possible Aurora officer. Again Department on Metro net asking DPD to ask DPS to lock down school at corner or Monaco and Leetsdale. Still no idea who's Code Enforcement officer is down, Unknown officer status. Looking for a African American male late 30's. Was in gray hoodie, was found ditched in a dumpster. Again I do not have ears on this, just getting this from traffic on Metro net.

Thanks Jim, I had a feeling you might know what was going on! Search on Blue SE sounds pretty intense.

They are not sworn officers, nor are they armed, but they are uniformed. At least in Broomfield the most they carry is a taser.

unconfirmed reports the officer has died. Sad day very very sad.


u/d sf 1914 Clinton street..That is one heck of a Coincidence. A fire in the same area a suspect is being looked for.

 

[jfab]

Now have a s/f 1919 Clinton St, right in the middle of this perimeter. PD o/s of smoke coming from a house. Unk if related to this incident.

U/D 1721-Looks like food fire only. Picking up all companies w/ exception of E1 and T2

In Aurora they're not part of the Police Department, they belong to city hall under Neighborhood Services Department

In Aurora they're not part of the Police Department, they belong to city hall under public works or maybe planning and zoning

Thanks Troop!

Thanks Troop, sorry if I confused you Charles!

No worries Jfab, that is the reason I asked I had no idea. You did and so did Troop. Great forum we have here.

Sounds like a ton of Aurora PD Brass going to the hospital, Air one told they can clear once dog search is done. I would say they either know where the guy is, know he got out of containment or know he's not a threat any more.

Aurora U/D: Chester, Clinton and Dallas Streets remain closed between Montview and 17th, suspect remains at large and multi-agency search continues on APD Tac-11 and Blue SE.
