 All right. Well, first of all, we want to thank you all for being here and getting this message out The most important message is that situation here is resolved and things are safe Why we're here about seven ten this morning. We had a disturbance near 8th and Lincoln armed individual Fired at least a couple of rounds between there and this location Thankfully, we had many of our citizens and community members that called and let us know what was going on Officers responded very quickly. They engaged this armed suspect and resolved the situation at this time the suspect is Deceased we can share that Information we can confirm that the suspect was armed. We can also confirm that the suspect had fired a couple of rounds Again, I want to thank our community for letting us know for calling 911 as quickly as they did and getting our officers here to the scene to Keep our community safe. I also want to thank the brave officers that engaged this armed suspect and resolved this situation This is very preliminary in the investigation We'll have far more details as we get get those and we'll do an additional press briefing In the next 24 to 48 hours to update the community And and that's all that we can say at this time originally were told someone was in custody I'm assuming that was that person who now know is dead. Correct. Okay, it's one individual We feel this situation is completely resolved and that the community is safe Yeah, this is again very preliminary in this investigation as details come available We will post a second update and provide what we can at that point What more do you need to do on scene and how long do you anticipate this area will be closed off? We believe that it'll take us several more hours We want to protect the integrity of the investigation and to that point. We need our community's help So we believe that individuals or folks were able to capture video of this incident For us to have a very strong investigation We would like to get access to that video anybody that has seen anything One they can send it to us at DPD PIO at Denver gov.org again that is DPD PIO at Denver gov.org We want any and all video from this incident There are folks that were on their way to work again This occurred during rush hour traffic and they haven't had a chance to share what they've seen We would ask that they would contact us through that email Address and we will follow up with them to get a statement from them and or any other video from this incident Could not say at this point all part of the investigation A lot of us have been talking to people who have seen all of this and they've described This is a pretty scary sort of situation. I'm assuming you've heard those types of stories, too Any time that you have an individual that's armed that is firing a weapon Here in in in the city during rush hour traffic. It's a very dangerous situation so again, I want to commend our officers for going into a dangerous situation and Thankfully the community is safe at this point. Was he firing at officers too? Again to that question all part of the investigation. We could not speak about that at this point Can you share how many officers were involved and how many fired shots? We can't at this point that would be part of the the follow-up update and We will show that any and all information that we can at that point So you forgive me if you mentioned this but what what weapon did he actually mention that? I can confirm that he was armed with a handgun where the handgun was So I know witnesses said that he was walking at least from 8th down And I know you guys keep walking off certain areas It looks like maybe those were gunshots that shot out or something like window and stuff Why not stop him earlier when officers started trailing him down here and let him get all the way to 8th or 11th? So what I can tell you is that officers responded very quickly This entire situation was completely completely resolved in less than five minutes That's pretty fast and we didn't let an armed suspect get anywhere the individual was confronted and The community was then became safe as a result of that. Thank you chief appreciate it. Thank you very much
