DENVER (AP) — A man died after being shot by a sheriff's deputy
responding to a reported active shooter inside an arcade and
entertainment center in suburban Denver Saturday night,
authorities said.
A sheriff's deputy who was near the Main Event in Highlands
Ranch found the man armed with a handgun in the parking lot when
he arrived, Douglas County Sheriff Darren Weekly said. The man
refused several orders to drop his weapon and was shot after he
turned toward the deputy, he said.
Investigators learned that a woman had been shot and wounded by
another woman inside the crowded venue, Weekly said.
Investigators believe the male who was shot by the deputy was
connected to the shooting inside, he said.
The woman who was shot is expected to survive and the
23-year-old suspect was taken into custody, the sheriff's office
said.
“The situation could have been much worse,” Weekly said.
Main Event offers a variety of activities including bowling,
laser tag and mini golf in addition to video games.
