An Adams County Sheriff's deputy was shot early Friday morning at the Caraway Apartments on Broadway in the Denver metro area, turning a normally quiet stretch of North Broadway into an active crime scene. At least one other person was also wounded, and the deputy was believed to have been taken to Denver Health for treatment. The shooting triggered delays for nearby schools and bus routes while investigators locked down the area.
According to CBS News Colorado, officials had not yet confirmed the deputy's condition but said at least one other person had been shot. The report identified the Caraway Apartments, 7401 Broadway near U.S. 36 and I-25, as the scene and noted that Mapleton Public Schools announced two-hour delayed starts for Global Primary Academy, Global Intermediate Academy, Global Leadership Academy, and the Performing Arts School on Broadway. What led up to the shooting is still being investigated, the outlet reported.
Where The Shooting Happened
The Caraway complex is located at 7401 Broadway just north of I-25 and U.S. 36, according to Caraway Apartments. Developer Maiker Housing Partners describes the site as an adaptive-reuse project that turned a county office building into an affordable housing community. The Caraway development includes roughly 116 units and opened in recent years.
Investigation Under Way
Officials say the chain of events that led to the gunfire is under investigation, and they have released only limited details about what happened inside or around the complex. Authorities have not announced any arrests or publicly identified suspects, and investigators have urged the public to be patient while they work to piece together the incident.
What Residents Should Know
Families in the Broadway corridor were asked to closely check school communications after bus routes and start times were shifted on Friday morning. Local authorities have said they will release additional information as it is confirmed, including updates on the deputy, the other person who was shot and any developments in the investigation.
