Denver • A sheriff’s deputy was shot to death during a confrontation north of Denver and one suspect has been taken into custody and a manhunt is on for two others, authorities said.
A spokeswoman for the Adams County Sheriff’s Office said deputies were called to an “assault in progress” Wednesday night and saw one of the suspects run behind a house. That suspect pulled a handgun and shot the deputy in the chest before fleeing, she said. He was taken into custody a short time later.
Investigators set a large perimeter in their search for two other suspects, who remain on the loose.
