A man has been arrested and is facing more than twelve counts, including attempted murder, following an overnight shooting in Aurora.
Officers responded to the 7-Eleven at 599 South Airport Boulevard at around 11:49 p.m. Monday after getting a tip of shots fired in the store. A clerk told responding officers an armed man had come into the store with a handgun and fired at least one round.
While still at the 7-Eleven, officers learned the same suspect threatened someone with a gun at a Burger King across the street, at 620 South Buckley Road, before he went to the 7-Eleven. While at this first scene, police gathered evidence and a description of the suspect vehicle. Once at the scene, police saw the suspect’s vehicle and set up a perimeter to search for the suspect. During the search, an officer found the man and the officer fired one round, but police did not say in a news release Tuesday what – if anything – prompted the officer to fire his gun at the suspect.
