WERE NOT. >> JOEL, THANK YOU SO MUCH. >>> WE WANT TO GO OUT TO THAT NEWS CONFERENCE VERY SOON. WE DO KNOW THAT LAW ENFORCEMENT IS ON THE SCENE NOW, GETTING READY TO UPDATE US, GIVE US ANY UPDATES, AND ANSWER QUESTIONS, AS YOU CAN SEE. THIS IS A LIVE LOOK AT THE NEWS CONFERENCE. WE ARE GOING TO LISTEN IN RIGHT NOW. >>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE. I APOLOGIZE THAT WE HAD TO PUSH THIS MEDIA BRIEFING BACK. TAKE YOUR TIME. THIS HAS BEEN A VERY FLUID SITUATION THIS MORNING. MY NAME IS RACHEL HASLETT . I AM THE PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER WITH THE BROOMFIELD POLICE DEPARTMENT. A LITTLE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED THIS MORNING, ABOUT 6:34 THIS MORNING, OFFICERS WERE CALLED TO THE ARISTA FLATS APARTMENTS, THAT IS WHAT YOU CAN SEE IN THE DISTANCE SURROUNDED BY THE CRIME SCENE TAPE FOR A DISTURBANCE. WHEN THEY GOT TO ONE OF THE UNITS INSIDE THE APARTMENT, THEY HEARD A MALE MAKING THREATS, AND STRONGLY SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THEY HEARD GUNSHOTS. IT BECAME VERY, VERY UNSAFE FOR THOSE OFFICERS WITHIN MINUTES, AS HE WAS SHOOTING NOT ONLY AT SURROUNDING UNITS, ALSO INTO THE PARKING LOT . THAT IS WHY WE CALLED IT AN ACTIVE SHOOTER SITUATION, AS THERE WERE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN DANGER. AN EMERGENCY REVERSE NOTIFICATION IN BROOMFIELD , WE HAVE A LOOKOUT ALERT SYSTEM THAT WAS IMMEDIATELY SENT OUT TO RESIDENTS AND PEOPLE IN THE SURROUNDING AREA, ASKING THEM TO SHELTER IN PLACE . YOU DO HAVE TO SIGN UP FOR THAT WE DID GET QUESTIONS FROM OUR RESIDENTS . I WILL MAKE SURE I PUT THAT ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA LATER TODAY. BECAUSE IT WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND HE WAS FIRING ROUNDS INTO SURROUNDING KNITS AND THE PARKING LOT. S.W.A.T. RESPONDED, ALONG WITH CRISIS NEGOTIATORS . WE HAD RESPONSE FROM OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES, INCLUDING THE BOULDER COUNTY SHERIFF, WESTMINSTER, DOUGLAS COUNTY, AND NORTH METRO FIRE. WE STAGED MEDICAL , AND BASICALLY WORKED ON COMMUNICATING WITH THIS GENTLEMAN. IT WAS A MALE SUSPECT IN THE APART, AND WORKING TO GET INTO DIED . WE DO NOT KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE INSIDE THE APARTMENT WITH HIM . WE KNEW AT LEAST ONE PERSON FROM WHAT WE WERE HEARING, BUT WE DID NOT KNOW HOW MANY OTHER POTENTIAL HOSTAGES THERE MAY BE. THE GOOD NEWS IS , WE WERE ABLE TO TAKE THAT SUSPECT INTO CUSTODY ABOUT 30 MINUTES AGO. OFFICERS WERE ABLE TO BREACH THAT APARTMENT DOOR. THEY WERE ABLE TO MAKE FORCE ENTRY AND THINK THAT SUSPECT INTO CUSTODY. I CAN CONFIRM HE AND ONE FEMALE VICTIM HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO A LOCAL HOSPITAL. I DO NOT KNOW THE EXTENT OF THEIR INJURIES AT THIS TIME. WAITING FOR UPDATES ON THAT . WE DO HAVE ONE PERSON IN CUSTODY . WE HAVE ONE OTHER PERSON , A FEMALE INSIDE THAT APARTMENT, SHE IS THE VICTIM AND SHE WAS THE HOSTAGE IN THIS SITUATION. >> WHAT IS THE EXTENT OF HER INJURIES? I DO NOT HAVE ANY INFORMATION OF HER INJURIES AT THIS TIME. YES, HE DID FIRE AND IT DID HIT VEHICLES, OTHER BUILDINGS, AND OTHER UNITS. THIS WILL BE AN ACTIVE CRIME SCENE FOR A WALKER. WE HAVE TO PROCESS WHERE THOSE GUNSHOTS WENT, LOOK FOR ANYTHING THAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED, HOW MANY SHOTS HE FIRED. IT WILL BE AN ACTIVE CRIME SCENE AND IT WILL BE CLOSED FOR A WALKER. [ INAUDIBLE QUESTION ] I DON'T KNOW THE NATURE OF THE THREATS, I DO KNOW HE WAS THREATENING TO HURT PEOPLE. THAT IS ABOUT ALL I CAN CONFIRM RIGHT NOW. I DO NOT HAVE AN AGE OR NAME OF THE SUSPECT AT THIS TIME. I DO NOT. JUST THE ARISTA FLATS APARTMENTS. RIGHT HERE IN ORANGE. [ INAUDIBLE QUESTION ] CORRECT. THAT WAS FORCED ENTRY AND ONE BROOMFIELD POLICE OFFICER FIRED HIS WEAPON. I DON'T . WE DO NOT KNOW . HE WAS GIVING US A LOT OF DIFFERENT DETAILS ABOUT WHAT HE WAS POSSIBLY ARMED, BUT I DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION. I DO NOT . I DO NOT KNOW THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THEM. [ INAUDIBLE QUESTION ] OBVIOUSLY, THERE IS A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THESE APARTMENTS. IN TERMS OF IT POSSIBLE HISTORY, I DON'T HAVE ALL THE DETAILS ON THAT YET. SURE. WE WERE CALLED OUT HERE AT X: 34. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE , WHAT TIME IS IT NOW? 10:34. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST FOUR HOURS. WE STARTED NEGOTIATING WITH THE SUSPECT IN THIS CASE IN ALMOST 30 MINUTES. WE WERE THERE, COMMUNICATING WITH HIM. I'M GOING TO SAY THAT AGAIN. OBVIOUSLY, IT HAS BEEN FOUR HOURS, ABOUT THREE AND HALF HOURS WE WERE IN MEDICATION ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, CRISIS NEGOTIATIONS, S.W.A.T. ME SURROUNDING LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES. JUST TRY TO FIGURE OUT THE BEST WAY TO SOLVE THIS AS SAFELY AS POSSIBLE. [ INAUDIBLE QUESTION ] SURE. I KNOW THAT WE HAD OUR BEARCAT ON , WHICH IS OUR S.W.A.T. VEHICLE . I AM NOT WELL VERSED ON ALL OF THE OTHER SURROUNDING LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES' DIFFERENT VEHICLES, BUT I CAN FIND THAT OUT OR YOU. AT THIS TIME WE DO NOT HAVE ANY REPORTS OF ANY OTHER PEOPLE BEING INJURED IN ANY OF THE OTHER NEARBY UNITS. WE DID PUT THAT REVERSE NOTIFICATION OUT AND WE DID DO LIMITED EVACUATIONS AS SAFELY AS WE COULD. WE HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND THE SAFETY OF OFFICERS AND RESIDENTS . TRYING TO GET OUT THOSE THAT NEED TO BE EVACUATED, TELLING OTHERS TO SHELTER IN PLACE . WE ALSO PUT ONE SCHOOL ON SECURE JEFFERSON ACADEMY. IT IS NOT AN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT IT IS CLOSE BY. WE DID THAT OUT OF ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION. IT IS VERY NORMAL. NO ONE WAS COMING OR GOING FOR ABOUT TWO HOURS. THEY WERE INJURED . I AM NOT GOING TO COMMENT ON THE INJURIES AT THIS TIME. I DO NOT. I'M NOT IN A PLACE THAT I CAN TALK ABOUT THOSE INJURIES RIGHT NOW. I DON'T KNOW THAT EITHER. >> YOU HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO RACHEL HASLETT WITH THE BROOMFIELD POLICE DEPARTMENT, GIVING US AN UPDATE ON WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED TODAY. TO GIVE YOU A RECAP OF WHAT RACHEL HAS SAID , AT 6:34, OFFICERS RESPONDED TO THE ARISTA FLATS APARTMENT COMPLEX IN BROOMFIELD DUE TO A DISTURBANCE. WHEN THEY ARRIVED , SHORTLY AFTER, THEY HEARD A MAN, A MALE SUSPECT, MAKE THREATS AND SHORTLY AFTER THAT STARTED SHOOTING. SHOOTING RANDOMLY, SHOOTING AT UNITS IN APARTMENT BUILDINGS AND IN THE PARKING LOT . THEY HAD TO SECURE THAT AREA VERY QUICKLY BECAUSE OF THAT. THEY WERE IN COMMUNICATION WITH THE SUSPECT 30 MINUTES AFTER THEY ARRIVED AT THE SCENE . THIS WHOLE THING LASTED ABOUT FOUR HOURS. THEY WERE IN COMMUNICATION WITH THIS PERSON FOR AT LEAST THREE AND HALF HOURS. >> WE SAW THE S.W.A.T. TEAM MOVE IN TO TRY TO TAKE THIS PERSON. THEY DID FORCED ENTRY. THEY CAUGHT ONE PERSON AND ONE FEMALE VICTIM, BOTH TAKEN TO A LOCAL HOSPITAL FOR THEIR INJURIES . WE DO NOT KNOW THE EXTENT OF THEIR INJURIES. WE DID HEAR FROM THE PRESS CONFERENCE AS WELL THAT THE FEMALE IN THE SITUATION WAS CONSIDERED A HOSTAGE IN TERMS OF WHAT HAPPENED HERE. THIS HAPPENED AROUND 6:34 THIS MORNING . WE ALSO LEARNED, THE SUSPECT ALSO FIRED AT OTHER UNITS, OTHER VEHICLES . THIS CRIME SCENE WILL BE ACTIVE FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS HERE AT THE ARISTA FLATS APARTMENT COMPLEX IN BROOMFIELD RIGHT NOW. IF YOU WANT TO HEAR MORE ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING FOR THE SITUATION, YOU CAN ALWAYS LOG ONTO OUR WEBSITE OR OUR APP AT CBSCOLORADO.COM. IN THE MEANTIME, WE WILL GO TO " PRICE IS RIGHT" HAPPENING RIGHT HERE ON CBS. >>> THE FOURTH " THE PRICE IS RIGHT" WE WILL ACTUALLY GO TO THAT NEWS CONFERENCE AND LISTEN TO BROOMFIELD RELEASE. >> NOT THAT I AM AWARE OF, BUT I HAVE LOOKED INTO THE HISTORY OF HIS UNIT AND THE UNIT OVERALL . I CANNOT SAY FOR SURE OR NOT AT THIS TIME. I DO NOT HAVE THAT. [ INAUDIBLE QUESTION ] SO THE QUESTION WAS ABOUT THE REVERSE NOTIFICATION SYSTEM. IN BROOMFIELD, WE USED A SYSTEM THAT IS CALLED LOOKOUT ALERT. YOU CAN FIND IT AT BROOMFIELD .ORG, THAT IS THE CITY'S WEBSITE. THE BEST THING TO DO IS TO TAKE A FEW MINUTES AND GO ON THAT WEBSITE AND REGISTER YOUR CELL PHONE NUMBER. ALSO PUT IN A PERIMETER OF WHERE YOU LIVE AND WHERE YOU MAY WORK. IF YOU WERE OUT FOR A JOG THIS MORNING, WALKING YOUR DOG . AS YOU KNOW, IT WAS EARLY, A LOT OF PEOPLE DO JOG, LEAVING FROM WORK OR SCHOOL. YOU WOULD GET AN EDUCATION BECAUSE YOU ARE IN THE PERIMETER. IT ONLY TAKES A FEW MINUTES . YOU CAN ADD MULTIPLE CELL PHONES, EMAIL, AND YOU WILL GET THAT TEXT MESSAGE, LETTING YOU KNOW WHEN THERE IS AN EMERGENCY WHERE YOU LIVE OR WORK. >> YOU SAID, YOU DO NOT KNOW THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE MALE AND FEMALE? >> I DO NOT. [ INAUDIBLE QUESTION ] SO, WE MADE A FORCED ENTRY, OFFICERS DID. AT LEAST ONE OFFICER FIRED HIS WEAPON . THERE WAS AN EXCHANGE OF GUNFIRE AT THAT POINT. I DO NOT KNOW THE EXTENT BETWEEN THE SUSPECT AND THE OFFICERS. I KNOW AT LEAST ONE OFFICER DID FIRE HIS WEAPON, AND WE WERE ABLE TO TAKE HIM INTO CUSTODY. I CAN'T SAY, BECAUSE I WAS NOT A PART OF THE NEGOTIATIONS . I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE MENTAL STATE WAS OF OUR SUSPECT AT THIS POINT. I CAN'T REALLY SPECULATE ON THAT. IT WAS A BROOMFIELD POLICE OFFICER, BUT I DO NOT KNOW IF HE WAS IN TACTICAL GEAR . YES. TWO ADULTS, ONE FEMALE, ONE MALE . [ INAUDIBLE QUESTION ] I DON'T HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON THAT. >> DO YOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF WEAPON THE OFFICER USED, A RIFLE OR A HANDGUN? >> I DON'T HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON THAT. >> THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN WEARING A CAM FOR THE INTERACTION? >> CORRECT. ALL OF OUR BROOMFIELD OFFICERS WEAR A BODY CAM . IF THEY HAVE THEIR WEAPONS DRAWN, THAT AUTOMATICALLY INITIATES THE BODY CAMERA RECORDING. THAT IS SOMETHING I WILL HAVE TO LOOK INTO. I DON'T HAVE THE DETAILS, DUE TO THEIR RELATIONSHIP. ANYTHING ELSE THAT ANYBODY CAN THINK OF? IF NOTHING FURTHER, THIS WILL BE THE ONLY PRESS BRIEFING TODAY. BUT I WILL CONTINUE TO PUT OUT UPDATES VIA OUR SOCIAL MEDIA, FACEBOOK, TWITTER, OR X . ALSO, WE WILL PUT OUT A PRESS RELEASE LATER TODAY ONCE WE GET MORE CONFERENCE OF INFORMATION. I WILL SHARE THOSE ON SOCIAL MEDIA, AS WELL AS OUR WEBSITE, BROOMFIELD.ORG /POLICE. OKAY. >> WHEN YOU FILE ARREST CHARGES OR SOME CHARGES AGAINST HIM, DO WE NEED TO BOMBARD YOU WITH QUESTIONS OR WILL YOU PUT ALL OF THAT WOULD X? >> ONCE WE GET THE SUSPECT'S NAME, ANY INFORMATION ON AGE, CHARGES, I WILL MAKE SURE WE PUT ALL OF THAT OUT. >> WOULD YOU GUYS CONSIDER RELEASING BODY CAMERA FOOTAGE SOONER RATHER THAN LATER? SOMETIMES, THE POLICE RELEASED A LITTLE BIT. IS THAT SOMETHING YOU WOULD CONSIDER? >> THAT IS ACTUALLY A QUESTION I CAN'T ANSWER. IT WILL DETERMINE ON THE INVESTIGATION THE COMMAND AND IF THE INVESTIGATION TEAM DECIDES WHAT IS BEST FOR THE DEPARTMENT. IT IS ALWAYS WORTH ASKING, BUT WE TYPICALLY DON'T RELEASE IT WHEN IT IS AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION. THANK YOU, GUYS. >> AGAIN, WE HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO RACHEL HASLETT WITH THE BROOMFIELD POLICE DEPARTMENT IN THE NEWS CONFERENCE, ANSWERING A LOT OF QUESTIONS FROM REPORTERS OUT THERE TO GIVE YOU A RECAP OF WHAT HAS HAPPENED . OFFICERS WERE CALLED OUT TO THE ARISTA FLATS APARTMENT COMPLEX IN BROOMFIELD AT 6:34 THIS MORNING DUE TO A DISTURBANCE. SHORTLY AFTER THEY GOT TO THE SCENE , THERE WAS A MALE THREATENING A WOMAN INSIDE ONE OF THE UNITS, AND ALSO STARTED SHOOTING . SHOOTING AT UNITS, SHOOTING AT OTHER APARTMENTS, AND SHOOTING INTO THE PARKING LOT . THEY HAD TO ADJUST AND REALLY SECURE THAT SEEM TO KEEP EVERYONE IN THAT AREA SAFE. THEY STARTED NEGOTIATING WITH THAT SUSPECT , WHO IS A MALE SUSPECT ABOUT 30 MINUTES AFTER THEY ARRIVED AT THE SCENE. ALL OF THIS LASTED ABOUT FOUR HOURS. THEY WERE IN COMMUNICATION WITH THAT PERSON BEFORE THEY WENT INTO THAT APARTMENT . >> AS YOU MENTIONED, HE DID FIRE AT OTHER APARTMENT UNITS, OTHER VEHICLES AS WELL. IN TERMS OF MOVING FORWARD NOW, THIS SCENE WILL REMAIN ACTIVE FOR AT LEAST A FEW HOURS BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO PROCESS ALL OF THOSE BULLET CASINGS, MARKED EVERYTHING , MAKE SURE THEY COMPLETE THEIR INVESTIGATION. A LOT OF QUESTIONS STILL REMAIN, THOUGH, WE DO NOT KNOW THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THIS KNOWN SUSPECT FOR THE FEMALE HOSTAGE, AS THEY DESCRIBED HER IN THE SITUATION. WE ARE WORKING TO LEARN THAT INFORMATION. WE ARE ALSO WORKING TO LEARN WHAT SHOTS WERE FIRED, BUT IT WAS ENOUGH FOR THEM TO CALL IN SEVERAL POLICE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES TO COME IN. WE SAW BROOMFIELD POLICE, S.W.A.T. , OTHER AGENCIES FROM DOUGLAS COUNTY, EVEN AS FAR AS THAT COMING INTO THE SCENE AS WELL. THEY MADE CONTACT WITH THIS PERSON AT LEAST 30 MINUTES COMING INTO IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. ONCE THEY BREACHED IN, ONE BROOMFIELD OFFICER DID FIRE HIS WEAPON THUS ENDING THE SCENE. THE SUSPECT AND THE MILL VICTIM WERE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. >> THEY WERE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL . THEIR INJURIES ARE UNKNOWN RIGHT NOW. THEY DO SAY THE SUSPECT IS IN CUSTODY. WE WANT TO GET TO JUSTIN ADAMS IN BROOMFIELD. YOU HAVE BEEN ON THE SCENE FOR QUITE SOMETIME THIS MORNING. >> Reporter: JUST ABOUT AN HOUR AGO, THIS WHOLE AREA HERE WAS WITH A WHOLE LOT OF DIFFERENT POLICE CARS, AS WELL AS AMBULANCE TRUCKS AS WELL. EVER SINCE THEN, THINGS HAVE CALMED DOWN. ABOUT AN HOUR AGO IS WHEN WE HEARD THAT LOUD BANG , FOLLOWED BY SEVERAL ROUNDS OF GUNSHOTS. FROM THERE, WE SAW AN INDIVIDUAL BEING TAKEN ONTO THE STRETCHER AND TAKEN RIGHT BY WHERE WE ARE NOW. RIGHT WHERE WE ARE STANDING IS WHERE THE AMBULANCE WAS TAKEN OFF IN THIS DIRECTION, WHICH IS TO MY LEFT AND ON YOUR SCREEN WOULD BE TO THE RIGHT AS WELL. I HAD A CHANCE TO SPEAK TO ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL. THIS PERSON TALKED ABOUT HOW THIS MORNING, THEY WERE COMING BACK FROM THE GYM, THEY LIVE IN THIS APARTMENT COMPLEX AND WERE DRIVING UP WHEN THEY HEARD GUNSHOTS . THAT IS WHEN THEY HAD TO MAKE A U-TURN AND BE ABLE TO GO AND LEAVE THE SCENE . I ALSO SPOKE TO ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL WHO WAS WALKING HER DOG AND THEN SHE HEARD GUNSHOTS. LISTEN TO THIS. >> TOOK THE DOG OUT AS USUAL, JUST BEFORE 8:00 OUT ON MY PATIO. AS SOON AS I PUT HER ON THE GRASS, I HEARD --, AND THERE WAS A KID WALKING TO THE SCHOOL BUS AND THERE WAS A ROCK IN THE PARK AND AS SOON AS WE HEARD THOSE SHOTS, HE JUMPED ON THE ROCK AND HE TOLD ME TO GET IN, GET IN. I GRABBED THE DOG AND RAN BACK INSIDE AND I HEARD ALL OF THESE COPS COMING, AND I HEARD MORE SHOTS BEING FIRED. JUST REALLY SCARED , BECAUSE I KNEW IT WAS GUNSHOTS AT THAT POINT. >> Reporter: WITH THE INFORMATION WE KNOW NOW, WE KNOW THAT IS ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS WHY POLICE TOLD HER TO GO INSIDE . THE SHOTS WERE LITERALLY EVERYWHERE . THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THEY SAID, GO GET TO SAFETY, GO INSIDE AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE . ONE OTHER THING YOU SEE, POLICE TAPE AROUND THE PARKING LOT AREA. I WAS WONDERING WHY YOU WOULD HAVE POLICE TAPE AROUND THE PARK . WHEN YOU HEAR THERE IS GUNSHOTS IN DIFFERENT AREAS, THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY . ALSO, EXTENDING TO THE APARTMENT COMPLEX, THERE IS POLICE TAPE TOO. WE WILL KEEP AN EYE ON THE SITUATION. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS STILL AN ACTIVE SITUATION NOW. WE WILL KEEP YOU UP-TO-DATE ON CBS NEWS COLORADO. >> AGAIN, WE DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE SUSPECT , THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE SUSPECT AND THE VICTIM. WE WANT TO GET OVER TO JOEL HILLIAN AT THE DESK. WE KNOW YOU HAVE BEEN GATHERING A LOT OF INFORMATION AS THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING AND YOU HAVE BEEN COVERING THIS SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING. >> IT HAS BEEN A LONG MORNING FOR US, A VERY TENSE MORNING, OBVIOUSLY , YOU KNOW OUR PURPOSE AND HOPE IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE COMMUNITY STAYS SAFE, THAT WE CAN CONVEY INFORMATION TO KEEP FOLKS SAFE AND GET SOME ICE ON THE GROUND, GET SOME ICE IN THE YEAR TO HELP MAKE THAT HAPPEN. WE WERE ABLE TO DO THAT THIS MORNING. WE LAUNCHED COPTER AS SOON AS WE HEARD ROCKY MOUNTAIN AIRPORT, JUST ADJACENT TO THAT. THIS CAME BEFORE 8:00 THIS MORNING . THEY LANDED FOR THE MORNING AND WERE REFUELED AND READY TO GO AND WERE ABLE TO GIVE US A FIRST LOOK. AND THEN, JEFF TODD, THE FIRST REPORTS WERE ON THE SCENE AS WE STARTED TO GET PICTURES FROM PHOTOJOURNALIST EDDIE CASTRO AND PHOTOJOURNALIST DALE ATCHISON , BOTH ABLE TO QUICKLY MANEUVER TO THE SCENE, ALONG WITH JUSTIN ADAMS . WE WERE BEING UPDATED FROM BROOMFIELD POLICE VIA SOCIAL MEDIA, MAINLY . THEY WERE VERY CLEAR ABOUT THE ACTIVE SHOOTING THAT WAS HAPPENING AT THE ARISTA FLATS , AS YOU CONTINUE THROUGH HERE. YOU CAN SEE HOW MUCH POLICE HAVE BEEN UPDATING INFORMATION AS THE TIME WENT ON. AND THEN THIS, ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH , ABOUT AN HOUR INTO THIS , THE SITUATION HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED , CONTINUED TO SHELTER IN PLACE. THOSE WERE THE MESSAGES WE WERE TRYING TO CONVEY UNTIL ABOUT HALF AN HOUR AGO, YOU CAN SEE 30 MINUTES AGO, WE LEARNED , THE SUSPECT WAS IN CUSTODY AND THE SCENE SECURE. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE LOOK OUT FOR AS WE ARE LISTENING TO INFORMATION FROM POLICE, ESPECIALLY THE DESK , WE WANT TO GET SOME NAMES AND ALSO SEE IF MAYBE THERE IS A HISTORY TO GET A BETTER PROFILE OF WHO THE SUSPECT IS, AND PERHAPS THE VICTIM IN THIS CASE . THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO SHARE THAT YET. POLICE DID SAY, THEY WERE GOING TO BE WORKING ACTIVELY TO GET THAT INFORMATION FOR US AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO WATCH THAT AS WELL. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE FROM THE ACTIVE POLICE SITUATION INTO THE JUSTICE SYSTEM AND THERE WILL BE CHARGES THAT WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS AND THERE WILL BE A COURT CASE. WE HAVE ALREADY STARTED A FILE HERE AT THE DESK IN OUR WHAT IS CALLED WOLF TECH THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO LATE THAT INFORMATION, GATHER THAT INFORMATION, AND FOLLOW THIS. JUSTICE IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF KEEPING THE COMMUNITY SAFE. >> WE ARE SURE YOU WILL BE GATHERING THAT INFORMATION THROUGHOUT THE DAY. ONE THING I WANT TO KNOW, JOEL. BROOMFIELD POLICE WERE TALKING ABOUT THOSE EMERGENCY NOTIFICATIONS . THEY TALKED ABOUT IT IN THE NEWS CONFERENCE BECAUSE THEY SAID, SOME PEOPLE DID NOT GET THEM, SOME PEOPLE DID GET THEM. IT IS IMPORTANT FOR MANY PEOPLE TO SIGN UP FOR THOSE ALERTS. >> SHE SENT OUT THE LINK EARLIER AND PUT IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA. JENNIFER, A PART OF OUR TEAM , IMMEDIATELY PUT THAT ON OUR WEBSITE AT CBSCOLORADO.COM. THE LINK WAS BROKEN AND YOU COULD TELL IN THE PRESS CONFERENCE THAT SHE WAS ACKNOWLEDGING THAT, THING, WE WILL SEND THAT OUT AGAIN ON SOCIAL MEDIA AS WE GET INTO THE AFTERNOON. NOT JUST FOR FOLKS IN BROOMFIELD, ANYWHERE YOU ARE AT, IF YOU HAVE EMERGENCY NOTIFICATIONS , YOU SHOULD BE SIGNING UP SO POLICE CAN GET IN CONTACT WITH YOU TO KEEP YOUR FAMILY SAFE. >> JUST IN CASE YOU ARE JUST JOINING US, THE SITUATION IS RESOLVED. THE SUSPECT IS IN CUSTODY. THE FEMALE VICTIM ALSO TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL AS WELL. A COUPLE OF TAKEAWAYS QUICKLY BEFORE WE TALK TO BRIAN. NUMBER ONE, AS YOU MENTIONED, PEOPLE SHOULD SIGN UP FOR THAT REVERSE 911 CALL. SO VERY IMPORTANT. THIS WILL BE A PART OF THE INVESTIGATIVE PROCESS, WITH A
