State Parole Officer Shoots, Kills Suspect

DENVER (AP) ― One man is dead after a state parole officer shot him at a Denver home.

The shooting occurred about 9 p.m. Tuesday as the officer was checking on one of his parolees.

Police spokesman Sonny Jackson says the officer recognized a wanted felony suspect and confronted the man. Jackson says the suspect produced a gun and the officer fired.

The suspect was pronounced dead at Denver Health Medical Center.

No names have been released.

Department of Corrections spokeswoman Katherine Sanguinetti says Denver police will take the lead in the investigation, but says the DOC will follow up.
