Multiple counts of attempted first-degree murder were filed Thursday in Adams County District Court against a man suspected of firing shots at Thornton police officers.
Darren Ross Hoffman, 22, is charged with two counts of attempted first-degree murder after deliberation and three counts of attempted first-degree murder with extreme indifference, according to the district attorney’s office.
On Monday night, officers responding to a report of a burglary in progress in the 1800 block of Rowena Street were fired on, according to a news release. Hoffman is suspected of pursuing him and at a residence. No one was hit by the gunfire, and officers did not return fire.
Hoffman, who was taken into custody Monday night, was advised Thursday of the charges against him. Bail was set at $100,000. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Dec. 6.
