Aurora police are currently investigating a tragic shooting incident that left three people dead, including an infant, on the morning of Saturday. The shooting, which occurred in the 10300 block of East Evans Avenue, involved four individuals and was reported just shy of 10 a.m., as CBS News Colorado reports. Among the deceased were a one-year-old girl and a 20-year-old woman, while the suspected shooter, a 19-year-old man, is also dead. A fourth victim, a 44-year-old woman, survived the incident.
With victims spanning generations, the gravity of such violence bears upon the community, where the dead suspect was found along with the female adult and infant. Officials have begun to peel back the layers of possible family disputes that could have led to this devastating outcome. According to Denver7, officers are inquiring into the history of the household: "We want to look at what occurred at this house prior to what the environment has been in this house. Has there been law enforcement intervention? Has there been other types of intervention that has occurred around this location? Is this a history in this house?" the report detailed.
As reported by KKTV, the identities of the victims were released, providing the ages and relationships of those involved. Intended to be a season of familial camaraderie, the holidays for this Aurora community have been marred by an event that has stolen the innocent and left many in despair. The specifics of the relationship between the shooter and the victims have not yet been disclosed by the authorities.
