Boulder police set to discuss officer-involved shooting

Police in Boulder on Sunday shot and killed a woman who aimed a fake gun at a driver. It happened in the late afternoon on the 3100 block of Broadway, close to the North Boulder Rec Center. Boulder Police Deputy Chief Ron Gosage said on Monday that the woman was carrying a replica Beretta pistol. They said the driver who the woman aimed the fake gun at called 911 right away. A few minutes later police arrived and spotted the women who was walking away. The woman allegedly refused to comply with police officers' orders and walked away into a neighborhood. For 15 minutes police tried to get her to drop the gun and halt but she didn't. They also fired at her with non-lethal items but those didn't work. Eventually fatal shot or shots were fired by an officer or officers. The woman hasn't been identified.
