It all occurred at the Radio Shack at 5305 E Colfax Avenue. Police closed the intersection of Colfax and Glencoe, as well as sections of both streets during the incident.
People claiming to be friends of one of the the gunmen, said that nineteen year old's brother was recently killed in a standoff with Aurora police, and that he feared the same would happen to him in this standoff. He posted on Facebook asking friends and families to call him, to say their goodbyes.
Police escorted any employees and customers out of the neighboring businesses, after searching them. Denver Public Schools placed Palmer Elementary, Montclair School of Academics and Enrichment, Teller Elementary, and Park Hill Elementary on lockdown.
Much credit is being given to the Denver Police Department in their handling of the whole incident.
