 Hi, I'm Aaron Kafer with Denver Police Media Relations Unit. I'm here today talking with Commander Joe Montoya about a situation in which his officers here in District 3verted a potentially tragic situation with the suicidal party. Commander Montoya. Good afternoon. Yeah, I wanted to tell this story. I had some officers last week that responded to a call in Southeast Denver. Family members called about a young man in the family who was despondent and suicidal and had a loaded weapon and was waving it around and they were very fearful that he was going to take his life. They called the police. A couple of District 3 officers responded, confronted the young man who had the gun loaded gun pointed at his head and was fully ready to take his own life. The officers acted calmly and were able to negotiate with the young man and convince him to put the gun down. What's most important is that this young man was convinced not to take his life and more importantly was convinced not to put the officers in a position where they would have to do it. He was taken to a hospital where he's receiving some psychological treatment. Hopefully it gives him a new lease on life and gives him an opportunity to be a productive citizen in Denver. Thank you Commander Montoya and again just be reminded to follow us on Facebook and Twitter and YouTube. Thank you.
