Residents of Aurora are heeding the calls to limit their movement and avoid the area swept with officers, while locals and the larger community await conclusive updates.
As information trickles in and the local community stands by for any updates regarding the safety of their neighborhoods and the apprehension of the suspect involved, details remain scant but the assurances that the area is under the vigilant watch of Aurora's finest bring some solace to Sunday's unrest.
