Sheriff's Office is saying it isn't looking good. I take that to be the status of the deputies. This time of year, I would take it that it probably started out domestic related.

Police in a Colorado city just outside of Denver said "multiple deputies" are down after being shot while responding to a disturbance call early Sunday.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said in a tweet that citizens in Highlands Ranch should shelter in place and avoid windows.

“We have multiple officers down,” Deputy Jason Blanchard told the Denver Post. “We are not giving numbers or status at this point, we are still working on getting the suspect in custody.”

Police say they are working in the area of County Line Rd between Colorado Blvd and University Blvd in Highlands Ranch, located south of Denver.

A Code Red was sent out regarding this incident. Any citizens in the affected area are instructed to shelter in place, avoid windows and stay away from exterior walls.


“Any citizens in the affected area are instructed to shelter in place, avoid windows and stay away from exterior walls,” the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said, calling it an “active event.”

The officers were shot while responding to a disturbance call around 6 a.m. local time, a police spokeswoman told the Denver Post.

Multiple law enforcement agencies and a SWAT team are on scene, police added.

The sheriff's office also told 11 News that the situation is "not looking good for us."

Local media later reported gunshots being heard amid a stream of firetrucks and emergency vehicles entering the area.

It was not immediately clear what sparked the incident.

Just heard this reported on both the local and national news.

Thoughts and prayers for these deputies and their families...and for all our LEOs across the nation.

Hell of a way to start the new year.

Praying for those involved and responding.

Damn it!!!!!!!!!

More good people down. Hopefully/pray-fully they will all recover and return to duty!

God bless and protect all LEOs who put so much on the line every day.

I hate hearing about these things. Doing your job and shot down.

I pray the injured can be saved, and for the comfort of the families of any killed.

Praying for them.

Douglas County Sheriff reporting 5 Deputies shot, 1 has died. RIP. Prayers for those injured.

**Copper Canyon OIS Update**- Deputies responded to a domestic disturbance resulting in shots fired. 5 deputies shot by suspect. 1 deputy confirmed deceased. 2 civilians also shot by suspect. Suspect shot & believed to be dead & no longer a threat.

The hearts of men are going cold. So sad for the innocent. God grant these officers' families peace.

Prayers sent for the deputy who died, the other officers, and their families. The video of the procession to escort the deputy to the funeral home was heartbreaking to watch. May God be with all of you who serve.

Damn.

So sad and prayers out to the officer's and their families.

Any DV call is the scariest and worst call for any LEO. You never know what you might be walking into and shit can go south like the flip of a switch.

Damn domestics. More heroes down over stupid

I pray the other parties involved recover. And I hope that family knew their son/daugther loved them.

Damn, what a way to end the year, I hate domestics. Prayers and Smoke from Kansas.

Amen...

Hoping that there are no more casualties and that the ones already reported are minor and will be O.K. Am offering up prayers for the ones already lost.

Thoughts and prayers for all involved, except for the perp.

Fuck that guy.

In the PR, the Sheriff stated that all the wounded LEOs were out of surgery in satisfactory condition.

But it will be a lifelong road for all of them, their fellow officers, and their families.

A ray of hope then. I hope none suffer survivors guilt.
