Aurora Police Shoot Woman Threatening Suicide

AURORA, Colo. (CBS4) ― An Aurora police officer shot a woman Wednesday night after being called to home about a woman threatening to kill herself.

Police were called to the 2200 block of S. Waco Court just before 10 p.m.

A man called officers to say his estranged wife was threatening to kill herself.

When police arrived, they said the woman wouldn't leave the home and had a gun.

Officers eventually shot Melinda Espinoza, 24, in the leg.

She was treated and released into police custody.

The officer involved in the shooting was placed on routine administrative leave.
