A 29-year-old armed man was shot and killed by officers after a nearly five-hour standoff Friday, according to Commerce City police .
Police officers and SWAT team members responded to a home in the 6700 block of East 72nd Avenue about 2 p.m. Friday for an “armed and barricaded suspect” who was wanted on suspicion of a domestic violence assault from earlier in the day.
The man briefly held a maintenance worker hostage inside the home before the worker escaped on his own, police said in a news release. The man refused to surrender and threatened to shoot police officers even after hours of conversation with negotiators, according to the department.
The man “was eventually shot by police” and died at the scene despite officers providing medical aid, the department said Friday. His name will be released by the Adams County coroners office.
The 17th Judicial District is investigating the shooting.
