DENVER | A fight at an electric vehicle charging station in Edgewater escalated into a fatal shooting that killed a Tesla driver and put another man in custody, authorities said Wednesday. The 33-year-old driver’s name was not released.

The second man later called 911 to report he was involved in the shooting and was detained, said Jenny Fulton, a spokesperson for the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.

Two shots were fired during the altercation, Fulton said, and the man who died had been hospitalized with a single gunshot wound. It wasn’t immediately clear if both shots were fired by the man who turned himself in, or if he was also an EV driver.

Investigators haven’t said what sparked the fight, which broke out in a parking lot outside a food hall in Edgewater.

    1. More charging stations are the answer, to soothe the eco-warriors insatiable desire to enslave young african boys into the cobalt mines. All for the status symbol of eco-virtue signalling whilst suckling at the teat of Elon Musk

    2. More charging stations = more death. The math is inconvertible.
      (Does Tesla make convertibles?)

    1. Seems like rocks should be outlawed and the planet earth should be sued for creating them. There is a second amendment ya know.

      1. Nah, let’s buy more Saudi oil so we can pay the royal family to fly more planes into American buildings instead.

  1. Don’t know the whole story…but it appears to follow a repeating American pattern: ANGRY MEN + GUNS = DEATH + INJURY
