Gunman shoots 1 at downtown Denver building; kills self

June 29, 2016 08:16

A gunman walked into a busy downtown Denver office building and shot a person multiple times before turning the gun on himself, police has said.

The gunman was found dead when SWAT officers arrived, police spokesman Doug Schepman said yesterday. The female victim was critically injured and was undergoing surgery at a nearby hospital.

Schepman said the gunman targeted the victim, and detectives are trying to determine the connection between the two. Police have not released any names.

Officers went floor-by-floor to clear the Alliance Center, a building that houses several environmental organisations and provides shared workspaces. Other buildings were locked down, and people were asked to stay away from the area.
