ARAPAHOE COUNTY, Colo. – An armed man who was shot and killed by a deputy on Wednesday was holding a female at gunpoint against her will.
Deputies attempted to contact the man by phone and PA system and later entered the room to rescue the female. There was no additional information as to what led up to the shooting or how many deputies fired weapons. The suspect was pronounced dead and no deputies were injured, said investigators. The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office said the victim, who is developmentally disabled, lived at a host home while the suspect did not live at the address.“Following agency policy, the deputies involved will be placed on administrative leave with pay pending the outcome of the investigation,” said the department in the release.
