AURORA | An Aurora man is facing numerous felony charges following a domestic violence incident Nov. 21 that escalated into gunfire, leaving him and an unidentified woman injured, according to a statement by Aurora Police.
The suspect, 39-year-old Jason Woolley was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries sustained during the altercation, police said in a statement.
He was released from the hospital Nov. 25, arrested and is being held at the Arapahoe County jail. No bond amount had been set by Monday afternoon.
Officers responded to reports of a shooting at about 10:45 p.m. Nov. 21 at the 3100 block of South Norfolk Avenue. Police said Woolley was involved in a violent domestic incident with a 39-year-old woman, and that Woolley was allegedly armed with a stolen handgun during the altercation.
The situation escalated when a 17-year-old male intervened, leading to gunfire. Woolley was struck multiple times, while the woman was inadvertently hit once, police reported. Both Woolley and the woman were transported to nearby hospitals for treatment. The woman has been treated and released, while Woolley remains in the hospital.
Woolley faces charges that include second-degree assault, menacing, possession of a weapon by a previous offender, possession of a prohibited large-capacity magazine and several related misdemeanor charges.
Authorities said the 17-year-old will not face charges, the statement said.
Police have withheld the names of both the 39-year-old woman and the 17-year-old because the police do not identify domestic violence survivors nor minors involved in incidents, police said.
Police said anyone with information can call Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867. Tipsters can remain anonymous and still be eligible for a reward of up to $2,000, police said.
So is he being held at the Arapahoe County jail, or does he remain in the hospital?
