HIGHLANDS RANCH, CO — Authorities said multiple deputies were down in Highlands Ranch on Sunday morning and authorities are asking residents to avoid the area.

"We are looking into an active incident in which multiple officers are down," said deputy Jason Blanchard of the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.

The office said on Twitter that deputies had responded to the Copper Canyon Apartments for a domestic disturbance and that gunshots erupted during their investigation, injuring multiple deputies.

The conditions of the deputies and and whether any other people were hurt remains unknown, the office said.

The shooting stemmed from a domestic incident at an apartment on the 3400 block of County Line Road, Blanchard said.

The office said on Twitter that it was responding to the call near County Line Road between Colorado Boulevard and University Boulevard.

"This is an active event, please avoid the area," the office said on Twitter.

Blanchard said they do not yet known whether the suspect is male or female or what kind of weapon was used.

No suspects are in custody.

Residents in the area received a "Code Red" alert warning them to "shelter in place, avoid windows and stay away from exterior walls."

One Douglas County deputy died and four more were wounded along with two civilians Sunday morning at a Highlands Ranch apartment complex. The shooter was also shot and is believed dead, the Sheriff’s Office said in a tweet at 9:32 a.m.

The Sheriff’s Office announced at 10:02 a.m. that the slain officer would soon be moved from Littleton Adventist Hospital in a procession. “Expect heavy law enforcement presence and traffic congestion on Broadway, C470 and SB I-25,” the Sheriffs Office tweeted.

Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle’s son is among the wounded deputies, according to the sheriff’s Facebook page.

I also read that it was an "ambush." :no:

The slain deputy was identified as Zackari Parrish, 29. He was married with two young daughters, Sheriff Tony Spurlock said during a news conference Sunday afternoon, often becoming emotional.

The four injured officers are in stable condition, the sheriff said.

Spurlock called the incident an “ambush” shooting.

“He knew we were coming,” the sheriff said.

The incident occurred about 5:15 a.m. at the Copper Canyon Apartments in Highlands Ranch, about 20 miles south of Denver.

The sheriff said four deputies initially responded to the reported dispute when the suspect began firing at them “almost immediately.”

More than 100 rounds were shot during the attack, he said.
...
At some point, the suspect fired a quick succession of shots. Parrish suffered mortal wounds, Spurlock said he was told by a doctor at the emergency room.

“They all went down within almost seconds of each other so it was more of an ambush type of attack on our officers,” Spurlock said.

"Ambush," in my mind means that he planned it in advance. Not sure if that's the appropriate word to use here.
