DENVER â Denver Police officers injured a man in a shooting while responding to a 911 call of a man firing shots out of a car.
DPD officers responded to the 3800 block of Olive Street around 5:30 p.m. after several witness called 911 to report a man was circling the park and firing shots out of his car, according to Denver Police Division Chief Ron Thomas.
They quickly located the car described by witnesses on the east side of the park and saw the man inside the vehicle had a handgun. Officers ordered the man to drop the weapon, but the man did not follow the officers commands and then threatened them with the handgun, Thomas said.
Heavy rain continues to fall in Canterbury, raising fears of further evacuations and flooding, particularly in Ashburton where half of the town's residents are preparing to leave their homes.
