The residents of a Jefferson County condo complex were under a shelter-in-place order for more than an hour Saturday while sheriff’s deputies searched for a shooting suspect they eventually located and took into custody.
The condo complex is located in the 7700 block of West Glasgow Place, about two miles north of Chatfield State Park. The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office first took to Twitter about the incident at roughly 2 p.m. People were asked to avoid the area where there is a heavy police presence.
