On December 31, 2017, a shooting occurred in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, where five deputy sheriffs were shot. One deputy was shot dead, and four others were injured. Two civilians were also shot by the suspect, who was later killed in a firefight with police. The suspect reportedly used a rifle and a shotgun. Law enforcement had responded first to a noise complaint to the apartment, then to a domestic-disturbance call to the apartment. The suspect reportedly barricaded himself in his bedroom and shot the deputies in an "ambush" style when they entered. The suspect was later shot dead by a police tactical team that subsequently re-entered the apartment.^[2]

Events

On December 31, 2017, deputies were responded to a domestic disturbance in the apartments which resulted in shots being fired. Three of the injured were taken to Sky Ridge Medical Center in Lone Tree, Colorado, with injuries that were not critical. Another four were taken to Littleton Adventist Hospital in Littleton.^[3]

Reactions

President Donald Trump extended his condolences to the victims of the shooting via Twitter: "My deepest condolences to the victims of the terrible shooting in Douglas County @DCSheriff, and their families. We love our police and law enforcement - God Bless them all! #LESM".^[4]
