Breaking: One weapon had been taken from the suspect, but he had another -- and used it.
The task: to provide a briefing on an officer-involved shooting that happened around 11 p.m. on November 28 at an entry point to Denver's main jail, the Van Cise-Simonet Detention Center. According to Thomas, a suspect who'd already been searched and relieved of a weapon produced a previously undiscovered gun and shot an officer in the neck before at least one other cop opened fire on him.
"At roughly nine o'clock Monday evening, Denver Police officers spotted what they believed to be a stolen vehicle at roughly Perry and Arkansas in southwest Denver," Thomas noted."They attempted to stop that vehicle. That vehicle eluded them. Ultimately, that vehicle stopped, again in southwest Denver, at roughly Iowa and Lowell."
Other law enforcement officers were present in the sally-port area, and"at least one of those officers returned fire, striking the suspect multiple times."

Tariffs, sanctions and suspicion have redirected flows of human and financial capital, and this week’s political protests in China may accelerate the trend.
