(KDVR) Arvada police said Gordon Beesley, the Arvada police officer killed in Mondays shooting in Olde Town, was ambushed and targeted because he was a police officer. In a Tuesday press conference, Arvada Police Chief Link Strate also identified the other person killed in the shooting as 40-year-old John Hurley, of Golden. Strate released few other details, citing the ongoing investigation, but stressed that the suspect, who has not yet been identified, deliberately targeted Beesley. While we dont yet have all the facts, I can tell you that Gordon was targeted because he was wearing an Arvada Police uniform and a badge, Strate said in a Tuesday news conference. Officer Beesley was ambushed by a person who expressed hatred of police officers. trate said investigators believe the shooting was an isolated incident and the community is safe. We are hurt and troubled, but most importantly, we are committed to the protection of this community, our community, that we all love, and to honor Officer Gordon Beesley and Mr. Hurley, Strate said. Strate said that police have not yet made any connection between the suspect and Hurley, who police have identified as a Samaritan in the incident, although they have not yet released more information about what happened. A random civilian jumped in and tried to save the cop but was also shot dead, damn --- Hello world! ... Copied to Clipboard! |
