Woman injured, gunman dead in downtown Denver shooting

A woman was critically injured in a shooting inside a downtown Denver office building on Tuesday and police said the suspected gunman was pronounced dead at the scene with what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Denver Police spokesman Doug Schepman told reporters at a news conference that the woman was shot multiple times around 2:45 p.m. local time and was taken to a hospital in critical condition.

Schepman said the suspect appeared to specifically target the victim, adding that the building was searched and secured and no further threats were found.

Police said streets in the vicinity were closed and that although the scene was secure, the investigation was ongoing.
