Deputy fatally shoots armed man outside family entertainment venue near Denver
Denver-area authorities said they shot and killed an armed man late Saturday near a family entertainment venue after a woman inside the business was wounded in a separate shooting.
The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said deputies were responding to a shooting at the venue in Highlands Ranch when they encountered a man wielding a pistol in the parking lot.
Police said the man, who was not identified, was walking between cars and refusing the deputy’s commands to drop his weapon moments before the officer opened fire.
“The male turned toward the deputy, and at that time he was shot,” Sheriff Darren Weekly said early Sunday in a video statement about the fatal shooting.
