Shooter believed to be killed after firing on deputies, killing one
A gunman opened fire on sheriff's deputies responding to a call in Colorado, killing one and wounding others before officers killed the assailant.
The Douglas County Sheriff's Office said five deputies and two civilians were also shot by the suspect. Deputies were responding to a “domestic disturbance” call, the law enforcement agency said.
“Suspect shot & believed to be dead & no longer a threat,” the office's Twitter account said.
