2 subjects down DG Code 10

09:37 sounds pretty quiet may not be an active scene and a cold incident. Did keep asking status of DG and ensuring they were responding code 10.

DENVER -- Two window washers were hospitalized Wednesday morning after they were hit by high-voltage electricity.

The men were working outside the Spearly Center, near 29th Avenue and Wyandot Street, when a large aluminum ladder they were on started to fall backward.

OK after watching the story on FOX last night I discovered that the Officer was saying I have 2 subjects that have been "Shocked" and not "Shot"

Window Washers Shocked When Ladder Hits Power Line
Two window washers received an electrical shock when they tried to grab a ladder that fell into a power line Wednesday.

The incident happened at 29th and Wyandot on the north side of downtown Denver.

Emergency personnel on the scene told FOX 31 News that the window washers were taking a ladder off of a tall truck when it began to fall into the power line.

They were shocked when they grabbed the ladder to try to stop it from coming into contact with the line.

Both were taken to a hospital. Their conditions were not released as of 10:40 a.m. Wednesday.
