Shooting

This evening around 8:30pm Westminster Police received several 911 calls regarding a shooting at 3800 W 68th Avenue.

Officers arrived on scene and found two adult males suffering from gunshot wounds. Both males were transported to area hospitals. Sadly, one of the males died from their injuries.

At this time, it appears as if this incident was an argument between two individuals with ties to the complex, and we do not believe there is a danger to the public.

The identity of the deceased male will be released by the Adams County Coroner’s Office.

Westminster Police will continue to investigate this incident and provide additional details if they are available.
