A sheriff's deputy was killed and four others wounded as they were responding to a domestic disturbance call Sunday in the western U.S. state of Colorado.
The shooting happened in the pre-dawn hours at an apartment complex in Highlands Ranch, located about 28 kilometers south of Denver. The gunman opened fire on the deputies after he barricaded himself in a bedroom.
After a brief standoff, the suspect was shot and killed after exchanging gunfire with police.
The four officers wounded during the incident, as well as two civilians, received non-life threatening injuries.
President Donald Trump offered his condolences to the victims of the shooting in a tweet issued hours after the incident.
