Shelter in place lifted in south Denver metro area, suspect arrested

A shelter-in-place order issued early Tuesday morning in the south Denver metro area has been lifted.

The Douglas County Sheriff's Office issued the warning around 6:15 a.m. for residents just north of McArthur Ranch Road between Grig's Road and S. Quebect Street.

Authorities said they were looking for two potential suspects in the area. The department asked residents to lock their doors and call 911 if they notice any suspicious activity.

Thirty minutes later, the shelter in place was lifted. DCSO said they have the suspect in custody and that there is no second suspect.

The department has not yet released further information on what led to the shelter in place order.
