AURORA, Colo. — A suspect who allegedly shot at Aurora police is in custody and authorities say a suspicious device found in the condo where the person was hiding has been rendered safe.
Early Tuesday morning, officers with the Aurora Police Department and SWAT worked at the Chaparral Condominiums along the 4200 block of S. Salida Way to apprehend a suspect wanted for felony charges. The suspect, who was inside one of the condos, shot at officers multiple times, Aurora police said.
A reverse 911 was sent out to the surrounding areas and a shelter in place was issued around 4:30 a.m. Sheltering in place means residents should stay inside the building they're currently in to avoid a possibly life-threatening situation.
Around 4:51 a.m., police said the suspect was in custody following a police shooting where nobody was injured.
The shelter in place was lifted at 5 a.m., however officers located a suspicious device in the home shortly afterward, and residents were again asked to stay in their homes.
At 5:15 a.m., police said the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office Bomb Squad was working to render the device safe. The shelter in place was lifted around the 5:40 a.m. when the bomb squad said they had determined the object was a hoax device, though it was made to look like a real one.
Authorities are still working in the area.
The suspect has not been identified and it's not clear what felony charge he or she was facing, or what new charges may be added from Tuesday's incident.
UPDATE: We want to thank our partners at Arapahoe and Douglas Counties, @AuroraFireDpt, and Falck Ambulance for all of the assistance. Their actions were nothing short of heroic! Please see attached images from the scene. pic.twitter.com/nawZQXoS2C
