A campus police officer was shot and injured in Denver early Monday morning while trying to apprehend a suspect who had trespassed into a vehicle, officials said.
The shooting unfolded at around 1:18 a.m. on the Auraria Campus, which is shared by Community College of Denver, Metropolitan State University of Denver, and University of Colorado Denver, in downtown Denver, campus officials said in a statement.
Two campus officers approached a suspect who was found "trespassing into a vehicle," the statement said. The suspect allegedly assaulted the officers and fled.
When the officers later tracked down the suspect, officials said he resisted, and officers deployed a taser.
