Shelter-in-place lifted in Commerce City neighborhood northeast of Denver after suspect arrested

Commerce City police have lifted a shelter-in-place order for a neighborhood northeast of Denver after officials say a suspect fired a gun and then barricaded themselves inside a home.

A SWAT team was in a standoff with the suspect in the 5300 block of East 63rd Place and negotiators were trying to get them out of the house for hours, but around 2:30 p.m., Commerce City police said the suspect was taken into custody.

Police didn't give an actual address, but the officers appeared to be focusing on an apartment building near East 63rd Place and Glencoe Street.

At one point, officers wearing gas masks fired what appeared to be tear gas or other chemical munitions.

Neighbors were gathered outside the police tape, watching and recording the events on their cellphones from the end of the block.

The suspect was not identified, and it's unclear what led to them allegedly firing a gun, or who, if anyone, they may have shot at.

After they were taken into custody, however, police said they face charges of illegal discharge of a weapon, reckless endangerment, "for firing through the wall and into a neighbor's house," obstruction, resisting, failure to vacate, and possession of a weapon by a previous offender.
