How did the other officers end up inside with the su as hostages? The article didn't say.
Not much info yet here in Colorado about it. Maybe I'll hear something at work tonight.
RIP Brother.
Another tragedy. The older I get, the less sense I can make of people.
Limon CO is the definition of small town (1700 people). One of it's biggest forms of revenue is travellers, as it is where US Rt 24 splits off of interstate 70. There is no east/west interstate into CO Springs, so anyone coming to CO Springs from the east gets off the interstate at Limon, and takes Rt 24 in to town.
This is a half hour down the road from my house, and is a very pleasant little town.
