In the early hours of the morning, Denver police were called to the Colorado Supreme Court premises following the initiation of an unidentified suspect. According to Reuters, the intruder opened fire upon police arrival, launching an ensuing incident during which a fire broke out in the premises. Despite the turmoil, the situation was ultimately contained, with the building’s sprinkler system extinguishing the fire and the suspect taken into custody within two hours.
While the Denver Police Department spokesperson confirmed these details, they refrained from disclosing any potential motive for this startling breach.
However, the incident’s background might hold a clue. Not long ago, Above the Law disclosed that justices of the Colorado Supreme Court had been recently subjected to death threats — fallout from their decision to remove Donald Trump from the primary ballot due to the 14th Amendment.
While this connection remains speculative for now, legal professionals cannot help but point to the suspicious correlation between these threats and this recent act of violence.
Further information — details of the suspect or clarification of motive — is yet to be released. The case is under ongoing investigation.
