美国西部科罗拉多州警方在星期天处理一起家庭纠纷过程中,一名警官被打死,另有四名警官受伤。

枪击事件黎明前数小时发生在海兰德农场的一处公寓,那里距首府丹佛以南约28公里。持枪者用障碍物将自己封在卧室内,然后开始向警官射击。

双方短暂对峙后,嫌疑人在与警方交火后中弹死亡。

事件中四名警察受伤,伤者另外还有两名平民,不过伤势没有生命危险。

川普总统在事件后几个小时发出的推文中,向枪击受害者表示哀悼。

A sheriff’s deputy was killed and four others wounded as they were responding to a domestic disturbance call Sunday in the western U.S. state of Colorado.

The shooting happened in the pre-dawn hours at an apartment complex in Highlands Ranch, located about 28 kilometers south of Denver. The gunman opened fire on the deputies after he barricaded himself in a bedroom.

After a brief standoff, the suspect was shot and killed after exchanging gunfire with police.

The four officers wounded during the incident, as well as two civilians, received non-life threatening injuries.

President Donald Trump offered his condolences to the victims of the shooting in a tweet issued hours after the incident.
