 So first off, my name is Doug Shepman. Last name is spelled S-C-H-E-P-M-A-N. And I'm a spokesperson for the Denver Police Department. And I'm joined by Melissa Taylor from the Denver Fire Department. So we responded out here on a call at 1.38 this afternoon on a report that a Denver firefighter, an on duty firefighter, was in his vehicle, westbound here on Colfax, when a woman jumped into his vehicle and stabbed him. The firefighter exited the vehicle, came back here to the fire station, was received medical care here, and was also transported to the hospital. Melissa will talk about the firefighter's condition. We had some witnesses on scene who pointed us in the direction of a female suspect who was taken into custody. And it's currently being held for investigation of aggravated assault. And at this time, we don't know what the motive was for this stabbing. We're still in the early stages of this investigation and hope to learn that through the course of the witness interviews and further investigation. So I'll turn it over to Melissa now, who can speak about the firefighter and the firefighters condition. Thanks, Doug. So the firefighter in question was indeed the fire department chief, chief Eric Tade. Sorry, I could hear you say. Chief Eric Tade, T-A-D-E. He did sustain minor injuries, non-life-threatening. And is at this point expected to make a full recovery? As the DPD, as Doug mentioned, motive is unknown at this time. We have alerted all of our firefighters as to the situation that occurred so that they can be aware. But we are really, really fortunate that these injuries were not more serious. Did this suspect have the appearance of a homeless person or a person on the street? I can't speak to what the individual looked like. Any idea? I mean, our suspect is an adult female. And she was taken into custody very close by. Does she or I never take know each other at all? Any indication there? I mean, at this time, we're still in the early stages of this investigation. We're trying to piece together whether or not there is a connection between the victim and the suspect. Was he in a marked vehicle? He sustained injuries to his hand and a superficial wound to his right leg. Was he in a marked vehicle? Would that woman have known that he was an official with the city? No, she would not have known that. He was in a black SUV. What was he doing at the time? Not sure exactly where he was heading, but he parks on this end of the fire station. And so I'm suspecting he was coming or going from a meeting. And his position is, he's the chief of this? Chief of the Denver Fire Department. Oh, OK, no, I didn't know if he was here. Yeah. Any additional questions? Any other questions? He's at the hospital right now. Let me say what hospital he was taken to. Yeah, he was transported to Denver Health and has been raided in fair condition right now. Did he tell anybody else in the court with him? No, there wasn't anyone else in the vehicle. And were there witnesses to what happened? DPD was able to find some witnesses. I'll let Doug speak to that. Yes, there were witnesses. Witnesses actually helped locate the suspect in this case. They pointed officers to our suspect who was taken into custody. And again, we're still in the process of interviewing those witnesses and trying to piece together exactly what happened here and why. Was it random? We don't know that at this time. Was he stopped at the light? Or was he moving and driving when a woman jumped in? My understanding is that the vehicle was stopped when the female jumped into the car. We have one witness who said both doors were open going through the intersection loop. So it appears that the firefighter actually got out of the vehicle and the vehicle may have rolled farther through the intersection once he exited the vehicle after being stabbed. He was the only person in the vehicle, correct? Correct. And it also looked like there was some blood spots leading into the fire station to come back in here. Yes, he did come into the firehouse to seek medical aid. So he was the initial medical assistance was provided by firefighters here at station one. You said adult female, right? Young adult sober person? I honestly don't have an age on the suspect at this time. And were there any reports of whether she said anything to him or anybody nearby? That would all be part of the investigation. The original call came in at 1.38 PM today. So she's currently being held for investigation of aggravated assault at this time, and the investigation is ongoing. Can any of you just speak to kind of your thoughts right now? This is maybe bizarre, maybe motivated, maybe not random at a time when there's some violence against officers around the country, things like that. Anything going through your head that you want to share with the people that see this at home? I think from our perspective, anything that we shared along those lines right now would be speculative as far as what her motive was or what transpired in the moments leading up to this. So I wouldn't feel comfortable speculating what she saw or what she was thinking when this happened. Thanks, guys. Yes. And you were covering it.
