DENVER (AP) - Officials say a woman shot by Denver police officers during an exchange of gunfire in an alley has died.
Denver Police Division Chief Ron Thomas says the woman turned around during a foot chase and fired at the officers about 11:30 p.m. Thursday. He says the incident involved a “significant number of bullets fired.”
Thomas says no officers were hurt but the woman suffered at least one bullet wound and was taken to a hospital. Her name and age were not immediately released.
A second person was taken into custody.
Thomas says the incident began when officers were investigating a suspicious vehicle in a convenience store parking lot.
He says while police were questioning the two people inside in the vehicle, the woman jumped out and ran.
