ONE US POLICE officer has been shot dead and four of his colleagues have been injured in a mass shooting in Denver, Colorado.
Large areas of Douglas County were closed off during the incident. Police in the region ordered people to leave the area.
A police spokesman confirmed that deputies responded to a domestic disturbance which resulted in shots being fired.
Five were shot with one confirmed dead. Two civilians were also shot by the suspect, who officers shot and believed to be dead and no longer a threat.
A series of tweets from their official Twitter page initially informed the public of the incident.
They read: “Douglas County Sheriff’s Office (DCSO) is working an officer down call in the area of County Line Rd between Colorado Blvd and University Blvd. This is an active event, please avoid the area. A Code Red was sent out regarding this incident. Any citizens in the affected area are instructed to shelter in place, avoid windows and stay away from exterior walls.
“We have multiple deputies down, no update on their status. The scene remains active and please avoid the area.”

But her emails…..
@Deborah Behan: yes state dept information on private, security weak servers? How would you feel if your information was leaked due to this?
@Michael Collins: I suppose it’s the difference between a suspected weakness in data management and your campaign manager requesting meetings with close allies of the leader of Russia who is a former KGB officer. I know your talking points try to convey a sense of equivalence but nobody is really buying it.
@Michael Collins: Yes, sure, like she should have used the authorised servers that were the first to be hacked.
Don’t recall this much investigation when Obama was president, But I suppose Obama never did anything unethical, # cough.
@Jonathan Byrne: eh, this investigation started under Obama.
@Jonathan Byrne: so you don’t remember all the controversy over where Obama was born and whether he was eligible to be president? A campaign in which Trump was the cheerleader?
@Jimmyjoe Wallace: shock shock horrer horror, let’s pick out certain incidents, to show we must be always good in life, sounds like a controlled society to me, an I don’t like that, bringing up the past on constant basis that sh@t gets old.
@Jonathan Byrne: ha, you were the one that brought up the last.
@Dave O Keeffe: well again thanks for your contribution on social media superiorty, I’m sure your opinion will be valid enough, to make an impact, well that’s what ya like to think. Ahh individualistic self-delusional strikes again.
@Jonathan Byrne: I’m fully convinced that you have no idea what yours even talking about 90% of the time. You brought up Obama then gave out to someone else for replying about Obama saying that they were living in the past. In short, your lack of intelligence is showing again.
@Dave O Keeffe: ending the statement on social superiorty again, what’s with that? I say things to bring up a debate , an of course the oul political incorrect statement, now and again, you get a social media kick out f ridiculous statements you make, I don’t take this personal because it doesn’t effect me. USA is a great country to live in.
@Jonathan Byrne: Some parts yes, Most of it is not.
@Jonathan Byrne: again, you use alot of words to say nothing.
@Jonathan Byrne: wow your points are just non sensical.
@Jonathan Byrne: you brought up the past, you total muppet
@Rob Cahill: your gonna be that specific on judging the 4th or 5 th largest country in the world.
@Jonathan Byrne: couldn’t even bother to look up that fact? Hint, your guess is wrong too.
@Jonathan Byrne: I lived there too, It’s full of idiots. Looks like they import them now too.
350 million people are idiots well done. I can tell ya my life is much better moving here from Ireland,
Jail time…..and how can all these people around Trump’s campaign who had contact with the Russians not have told him? It’s all pointing one way….
Lock him up, lock him up…..
“If he needs private briefings we can accommodate,” Manafort wrote
If that is all this hysterical Russian conspiracy comes down to it is beyond ridiculous. This whole article is more of the same, thejournal’s owner Dennis O’Brien paid the Clinton campaign $15 million, his media group are smarting from this loss and like many others are pushing any anti trump narrative they can get. IMO theres plenty to attack trump on but the Russia thing is, in the words or a CNN producer “a nothing burger” and if there was any evidence it would have leaked by now as everyone is out to get him.
@Mike: Your dishonesty is showing again. It’s quite possible that Trump had nothing to do with it but Flynn, Manafort and Trump Jr all broke campaign finance laws. Why do you not give the “CNN producer” his real job title? Is it because what he produces is actually not the news or anything related to politics? I thought DOB was INM not Distilled Media? Also, any real proof that he personally gave $15 million to Clinton’s campaign would be nice.
@Dave O Keeffe: DOB donated money through his company Digicell. You call me dishonest and then talk about campaign finance laws, what a straw man that is!
Re donating to the Clintons see below. The number is 10-20 million dollars.
@Mike: bless your own source shows your dishonesty. You said he donated to the campaign, the source doesn’t say that. Care to have a crack at clearing up any of the other inaccuracies in your original comment? You’re 0-1 so far.
@Dave O Keeffe: It takes a childish level of naivety to believe that the Clinton Foundation is anything but a vehicle for the Clintons to accumulate and pursue power. Donations have dried up now that Hillary is a busted flush. If you are going to play that dumb there is no point in talking to you.
@Mike: It has donated more to charity than Trumps bogus ‘Foundation’.
@Mike: so you have no proof that he gave money to the campaign? it’s funny that you didn’t defend any of the other points you made at all. Instead you just decide to insult me because you can’t backup any of your nonsense. Still unwilling to admit that you were wrong about the CNN producer? About the ownership of The Journal?
@Dave O Keeffe: You have gone on and on but the Russia narrative is nothing but smoke and mirrors. There is nothing to it. If there was an ounce of evidence he would be impeached, he is hated on both sides of the house. I should have said “foundation” instead of campaign but in reality as is well known the Clinton Foundation is just a pay for play political vehicle. I said a CNN producer called the whole thing “nothing burger”, he also said a lot more, look it up. Actually here’s a link on a nice leftist echo chamber rag…
@Mike: so you admit you got the campaign donation wrong. Will you admit that DOB doesn’t own The Journal as you said? Will you admit that the producer you refer to has absolutely nothing to do with news or politics at CNN but is actually the producer of a health segment and therefore wasn’t speaking from a professional stand point? You’ve been busted on every point, it’s time to give up
@Mike: also, when have I ever said that the Russia angle implicated Trump? I’ve repeatedly and steadfastly said he probably wasn’t involved. The fact of the matter is that members of the campaign, based in evidence so far, definitely were. Trump Jr’s emails admit as much.
By the Washington Post, no less.
@Jonathan Byrne: And?
@Gerri Sant0r0: I think he meant “Buy The Washington Post no less”.
Trump can be heard sobbing in his playpen ‘Why did I fire Corey?’ :(
Any great solution if he loses his presidency,? That’s what all the so called liberals want right !
@Jonathan Byrne: Obama, Mainstream Media, so-called liberals. Congratulations Jonathan, you’ve won Alt-Right bingo, please collect your designer diamond-studded tinfoil hat at reception.
@Jonathan Byrne: what do you mean “any great solution”? I suggest you study the constitution of the country you claim to live in for answers if you’re looking to find out what happens after impeachment. I’d imagine most people want guilty people punished, personally I haven’t seen anything that says Trump was involved. Manafort, Flynn, and Trump Jr, have all as far as I can see committed conspiracy offences to varying degrees.
@Jonathan Byrne: liberals went free everything for those who don’t contribute. Open boarders for everyone and then give them free everything for not integrating or contributing. And if you disagree or have a different opinion you are called names like racist or bigot. Liberals are a danger to society.
@Atheos Euripides: alt-right how fashionable. Just a bloke with an opinion, so called leftist, are the paradox to freedom, angry at the system and not themselves, i.e. Always a victim of anything.
@Atheos Euripides: congratulations on your sardonic comment. I’m sure all you’ve ever wanted was social media gratitude, what next world domination, we know how that goes without capatilisim.
@KingBen: First of all, we’d like the commenters here on the journal to be able to spell, and to know the difference between borders and boarders
@Larissa Caroline Nikolaus: Ah the liberal spelling police. You couldn’t reply with your default answer (racist, bigot) so you picked up on one spelling mistake. Go you. You must be proud as punch with your contribution? The future is safe in your liberal hands. So let’s let’s hear the rest or your post. You started out with ‘first of all’ but only mentioned one thing? It’s pickey by me I know, but kettle/black springs to mind.
@KingBen: “liberals want everything for those that don’t contribute.Open borders for everyone and then give them free everything for not integrating or contributing ”
As this article is about America,would you mind putting up your sources which will verify what you claimed ?Thanks a bunch.
@Gerri Sant0r0: I also refer to people’s opinions, and this is mine. Opinions are allowed, yours too. You disagree with my opinion obviously so why don’t you discuss with me with your sources and point me in the liberal direction? Thanks a bunch.
@KingBen: I’ll take that reply from you as a ‘I was talking through me arse ‘ and I was caught out..
@Gerri Sant0r0: why do all so called leftist, end on a statement of rethoric an not fact?
@Jonathan Byrne: As you are a resident of the US,is what Ben is saying the truth ?
And I’m happy to start off with Obama being called the ‘deporter in chief’
@Gerri Sant0r0: liberal troll, no ability to discuss. Racist, bigot, ar*e… Limited vocabulary.
@Ollie Mac: very much.
@Jonathan Byrne: Lets start with DACA. How much do they contribute to society ?
@KingBen: Geri seems to have got you angry, too.Why not back up your opinion with some actual facts.That could help,yes?
@Ollie Mac: why be obsessed about something out of your control, leftist idealogy will always fail fact, an the world of common Sense will prevail. In a Democratic society anyway, regardless of who’s in charge.
@KingBen: the only one with limited vocabulary on here appears to be you, you also seem to be quite angry and upset, just because other people disagree with you, or even have the audacity to call on you to back up your statements with facts, maybe you’re just not cut out to be commenting on a public forum
@Jonathan Byrne: You are the same as Ben.When facts are thrown at ye ye start waffling.
@KingBen: “Liberals are a danger to society.”
Idiots are a much bigger danger.
@Ollie Mac: facts from where what source, ? From a historical point of view, all I know is that, pro-socialist an communist countries fail. Fact !
@Ollie Mac: he’s the angry one, I’m happy contributing to society paying taxes and not calling people names with a different opinion to mine. You can’t discuss anything with a troll looking to get a rise. The liberal society should revoke his membership, he’s giving them a bad name.
@Rob Cahill: yes liberals ! How’s Venezuela working out as a leftist government? Paradise in your mind right?
@Larissa Caroline Nikolaus: ha ha, stop copying other peoples comments. Be creative, come up with your own. For someone enforcing spelling mistakes you have no imagination. Still waiting for the second part of your comment in relay to my first comment. I suspect you don’t have one that’s why you are reverting to plagiarism. Back to school.
@Jonathan Byrne: I honestly am finding it extremely hard to keep up with you.You ‘very much’ agreed with Ben’s post when he said that “liberals went free everything for those who don’t contribute. Open boarders for everyone and then give them free everything for not integrating or contributing.” When the facts of the matter show differently.
@Jonathan Byrne: What have ‘liberals’ brought to you in America..?
@KingBen: You must admit that your opinion was wrong and the facts show this.
@KingBen: 2 spelling mistakes.
@Rob Cahill: But that’s one of the prerequisites for being a lefty liberal, particularly if you are over 25!
@GetTFuYouBasa: and calling anyone over 25 that disagrees with you an idiot isn’t idiotic at all right?
@Jonathan Byrne: your stupid assumption that anyone on the left of you is a leftist is ridiculous considering you exist on the fringes of the right
I have no doubt that there is an unhealthy proximity between the Trump ruling regime and Russian interests but it is exaggerated as a factor in swing the election to Trump. There were other more influential and improper factors at play.
There is a valid concern that Trump is over influenced by Russian interests and easily manipulated and influenced by them.
Many valid and severe criticisms can be made of Clinton, although much criticism is exaggerated. The fact remains is that Clinton was not elected. Trump was and invoking Clinton is a side stepping of Trump who is the actual President and performing atrociously in that role.
There is a dangerous side to all these Russian stories pushed by the Democrats CNN and the BBC with no hard evidence behind them……Return of the cold war…Much better for Europe especially Eastern Europe if Russia and the US get on….
One way to keep Russia/Putin happy would be to bury all investigations into his obvious influence over Donald John Trump.
@John003: Trump Jr’s emails are hard evidence. I’m not saying senior is involved, I’m not saying the result was affected, I’m just saying that none of those points actually matter as the legality of the actions is not determined by their effectiveness
@Fiona deFreyne:
It’s Trump himself that keeps bringing up Clinton and Obama – almost a year into his presidency and he just doesn’t seem to be able to let it go.
I’m sure it’s an ego thing, like so much else about him.
@John003: Are better relations between the US and Russia worth a corrupted democracy?
@Fiona deFreyne: Afternoon Tony, see you have been emasculated after your little titter at the death of some Christians.
Ehh I not a liberal, I think the agenda there setting, right now is the cause of social diversity, can’t speak on Trump’s behalf, but I’m doing pretty well here in the states,
@Jonathan Byrne: Yeah, let’s ignore all possible crimes because you’re doing OK. That’s all that matters right? Not what’s right and what’s wrong. Were you also doing OK this time last year?
@Dave O Keeffe: well yeah, if me an my family are doing good, I’m pretty happy, I can’t control anything outside of that. Unless I become a politician, what else can ya do? Have a narcissistic gripe off the world from a victimised point of you?
@Jonathan Byrne: you know what democracy is right? You understand that life is about more than just you and your family? You understand that it’s point of view and not point of you? Funnily enough your description of what makes everything all good in your eyes is pretty close to narcissism.
@Dave O Keeffe: na more freedom and self satisfaction, only a person can speak from there self perspective, in the society in which they live in, either be grateful or be begrudgingly accept democracy.
@Jonathan Byrne: again, alot of words and nothing actually said. I still don’t understand what you doing good has to do with Manafort and his possible criminal activities. We’re you not doing OK before January? Who here has tried to denounce democracy? You have no ability to actually stick to the topic do you? Article about Manafort and someone says “that’s not good” so your reply is that they don’t accept democracy? While we’re on the subject, you know who speaks the loudest about the election being rigged? President Trump. He even set up a committee to look into it. How’s that for accepting democracy? You can’t both accept and dispute the he result at the same time
@Jonathan Byrne: “Ehh I not a liberal”
That’s clear from your spelling.
Sick of these crap stories he is going nowhere and the Washington Post is full of it. I dont even think I seen the story about CNN bugging Trump tower even though the MSM basically admitted it over there? This is a joke of a site.
There was a lot of sneering at The Washington Post while it was uncovering the Watergate cover up also……..
@Mark Mcloughlin: CNN bugged Trump tower? Or do you mean the FBI bugged Manafort?
@Bryan Whaley: I think he’s talking about the calls with Russians that were listened to by the CIA. Once Trump became president elect his calls and his campaigns calls with foreign leaders have become CIA property for national security reasons
The conveyor belt of Fake News keeps churning out the propaganda.
The gullible keep sucking it up.
@Emmet Dillane: So true, but I think more people are to pay more attention to Trump’s lies now and his ” fake news” is being met with the appropriate derision.
@Emmet Dillane: you know all about gullible eh??
Reading this I can’t help but think most people here (even the alt-right) probably laughed at Americans for going on like this less than 5 years ago. We copy a lot from them, Some of our children are talking like them now. But please can we not copy their stupidity and idiocy??.
There is no doubt about it. I have been reliable informed that Donald Trump has the number 666 under his thatch.
You have been warned!!!!
have your say
