(Douglas County, CO) The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office would like to correct a fact previously released regarding the February 8th shooting at Main Event. During the preliminary investigation, it was reported that the armed individual encountered by our deputy in the parking lot was in possession of a handgun with an illegal extended magazine.
Following a thorough and completed investigation, it has been determined that this was not the case. While the magazine initially appeared to be equipped with an illegal extended magazine, final findings confirmed it had a capacity of only 15 rounds – within legal limits.
We regret the initial error and remain committed to transparency, accuracy, and public trust as we continue to serve our community.
