AURORA| Four people, including an armed suspect, died after an hours-long police standoff Saturday at an Aurora townhome, authorities said.
Police Sgt. Cassidee Carlson said a SWAT team was called after gunshots were heard at the Aurora home near the 16100 block of East Ithaca Place near East Hampden Avenue at about 3 a.m. Investigators said three victims, all of them adults, appeared to have been killed before officers arrived.
Carlson said the suspect shot at officers at about 8:15 a.m. and was killed during a gunfight about 45 minutes later when police entered the home. It remained unclear if officers shot the suspect or if he shot himself.
A motive for the killings also was unknown.
“We’re just getting in there with our crime scene detectives, so obviously we’ll have to determine if it was our rounds or his rounds,” Carlson said. “This is a big investigation, and a lot is entailed.”
A fifth person escaped uninjured before officers arrived and reported that she saw three people inside the home who “appeared lifeless,” Carlson said. The sergeant declined to elaborate about the woman’s escape.
Police declined to release the name of the suspect or the victims.

One would think that an Aurora newspaper would have something on this crime without having to rely on the Associated Press.
Not this newspaper. They are more interested in pushing opinions and repeating national news than covering local events.
Here ya go Aurora Sentinel writers, a story to “break”, as relates to this shooting, as posted by a better known paper in the region: in this video of the incident, you will find that with 27 seconds left into the video an Aurora Police officer is trying to keep an eye out to see if he is being seen, while dusting a substance off of his hands into the trunk of a car “investigated” and then he appears to drop a packet or baggie like the type used with meth or coke into that trunk. The Post hasn’t even looked at their own footage. Have a look: https://www.denverpost.com/newsvideo?vcid=24162365&freewheel=90115&sitesection=denverpost
You such an idiot…Four people are killed and all you think about is some conspiracy with the police..Yeah the police planted meth and was getting rid of the evidence in the trunk of his patrol car while the news was filming…get a “F”ing life dude..
??, I don’t think on conspiracy theories in general. I saw that as I was watching the video. As for the 4 people dead..yes, it is sad. I can’t change it. I used to live and work within 3/4 mile from there, thus why I read the article and live in a different state at the same time. It made me question whether there was about to be a over up for the shooter being killed rather than having to face the crime and sentencing in a court room and whether this was going to lead to an asking for “more funding” to “protect” against a drug that wasn’t in the vehicle in the 1st place. As for being an idiot..here’s your quote: “You such an idiot.” It’s “You’re” not “You”, illiterate one. It’s always funny when a person can’t spell, yet calls others an idiot. “get a “F”ing life dude.” You mean by calling people names on a comment board like you just did? I’ll get right on that, as your life sounds, extremely, wonderful. 😉
Very good thank you English teacher..I forgot a “r” so now I am the idiot, lol…its funny how people like you always try to deflect from your own stupidities with trying to point out things like forgetting to place an “rrrrrrrr” on “your”…I like how you put I don’t think on conspiracy theories in general which in “general” means you always do…and don’t worry my life is great bud and very fulfilling :0) I just find it hilarious how people like you always want to point fingers at the police..am I saying all cops are good, by no means, but that does not mean every time an officer is doing something it is connected to a conspiracy..and so what if this helps with more funding to fight against meth, really!? with that statement alone you just proved my labeling of you..I am bored with you now, take care shadow…Oh is all my spelling correct?
“I forgot a “re” so now I am the idiot, lol” I didn’t say it. 🙂 “and don’t worry my life is great bud and very fulfilling” Okay, sure..anyway…yawn.” I just find it hilarious how people like you always want to point fingers at the police.” I have some old good high school friends that are on the Aurora Police force. I’m not criticizing the Aurora Police, or police in general, I just saw a cop do some shady things in that video. “and so what if this helps with more funding to fight against meth, really!?” It’s rarely used for that, so I “proved” your point that you are clueless as to where the money goes: politicians raises and pretend commercials in prime hours to pretend like the executive politicians give a crap, while they tell the good, hard working police force to get more traffic tickets. You know squat about the police force, politics, getting out of your parents basement or dismissing someone properly on a thread without sounding like a tween. If you took as much time to learn, rather than spent too much time writing like you are a great teacher/preacher/philosopher you might be 1/3 the intelligence that you have deluded yourself to believe. Simple version for you? I have friends on the police, in Aurora, and I think they are good at their job and non-corrupt, as are the majority of the Aurora Police (Lakewood is a whole other story, as they make Denver look like angels.). People die, I accept that, as I have wished it didn’t happen to many who were important to me. I think it’s sad that these people died, but that is a given that can’t be changed. I pointed at a video that had an oddity and some drama troll said oooh..the humanity that someone wasn’t overly crying over another, another, another casualty in the World that happened due to stupidity and a case of temporary insanity because of NO other reason than a person didn’t walk away when they should have, thus 4 people died. ALL 4 of their families(Mostly the same in this case.), I feel bad for, but it really doesn’t affect an outsider, unless they over dramatize a strangers death. In THAT case, that person is an attention whore and/or drama queen. I didn’t call you an idiot, I called you an attention whore/drama queen. Get it straight, as you aren’t(And don’t waste the time to try to, NOW, connect yourself to this real situation.) connected to this at all. You came on here to just be an ass. I came on here pointing out an oddity that I saw and didn’t pretend to make others serious situations my own. If, which I doubt, they were to read this I would simply say “My condolences on your loss.” and to not read into the other writing on here that doesn’t pertain to that loss. “??” A question to you: are you trying to make me look bad to a pretend audience that you have deluded is paying attention? I didn’t believe the Aurora Sentinel would see my comments, give me some “credit” or the like. I posted and figured that maybe the writer might reread their article and look into a possible tip based on the video that the Denver Post put out there, edited and really didn’t watch due to a deadline(NO pun intended!).
Oh and one more thing bud it’s not “over up” its “cover up” intelligent one…Seeming how you want to point out spelling errors with others you may want to check your stuff before trying to call someone out Einstein..again you have just proven my labeling of you with you trying to act all sophisticated, lol..so funny..Now I am done with you..
I wasn’t “acting”, I spoke the language.You didn’t just forget the “rrrrrr” either. I won’t try to act “all” sophisticated to please you and “prove” your point, as your point appears to be only on top of your head Mr. trollmeister…dude.
“Oh and one more thing bud it’s not “over up” its “cover up” intelligent one…Seeming
how you want to point out spelling errors with others you may want to
check your stuff before trying to call someone out Einstein” Psst, 1 missed letter due to a typo vs a punctuation mark and 2 letters due missed to illiteracy..two different things. Also, “Seemingly, you want to point out spelling errors with others, so(thus..any lead in would do.:-) ) you ” would be the proper way to write that sentence. Tel you what..just buy a flippin'(That pretend word should work for you.)
Warriner’s English Grammar and Composition: First Course book, read it and learn. When you are done and can pass all the quizzes in there, feel free to find me elsewhere on a thread that isn’t behind the news at this point. Okay, buh-bye now and “Anyway”. 😉
