2:24Now PlayingOfficers shot and killed an armed man who was yelling and chasing people around Commons Park Monday afternoon, Denver Police Chief Ron Thomas said.
Thomas said around 3:40 p.m., the department got a call about a man armed with a "long gun" in Commons Park, in the area of 16th and Platte streets near downtown Denver. Officers responded and issued commands to the man, but he did not respond, Thomas said. The man then started firing at the officers, hitting one of the officer's vehicles, Thomas said. That officer was behind the car, using it as cover, at the time, Thomas said.
Thomas said two officers immediately returned fire. The man died on the scene. His name has not yet been released.
