AURORA | A 65-year-old man faces reckless endangerment charges after being accused of firing a gun early Monday outside a residential building in Heather Gardens, police said.
Officers were called to the area of the Seville apartments building in the 13900 block of East Marina Drive at about 4:30 a.m., according to Aurora police spokesperson Joe Moylan.
“The incident was isolated to a specific building and officers initially focused on evacuating surrounding units for the safety of residents,” Moylan said.
Because there were numerous “unknown factors” linked to the gunfire, police called in the SWAT unit.
“SWAT Team officers were eventually able to make contact with the person involved and safely take him into custody,” Moylan said. Police said the shooting suspect is Ernest Delrio, 65. The man was taken to a local hospital for evaluation and issued a summons to face charges of reckless endangerment, police said.
