LAHORE, Pakistan — A court on Thursday ordered the detention of a Colorado man suspected in the shooting deaths of two Pakistanis extended by at least eight days, in defiance of U.S. demands the man be released immediately.

The United States says Raymond Allen Davis has diplomatic immunity and is being illegally detained. He has told a Pakistani court that he acted in self-defense last week when he shot two armed men who were intent on robbing him at gunpoint as he drove his car in Lahore.

Police say they are pursuing possible murder charges.

Davis and his wife have rented a home in Highlands Ranch since August, according to records.
