DENVER — The man accused of shooting two Denver police officers over the weekend died Monday, investigators announced. The officers were shot in an hours-long standoff that ended with a house on fire and the suspected gunman taken away in an ambulance.
In a brief written statement, Denver police said their investigation is still active, and pre-emptively announced that no further information is expected to be released to the public until interviews are completed next week.
Officials have not said how the suspect died, nor what injuries he sustained in Sunday’s standoff at a home on Inca Street near its intersection with Sixth Avenue.
