It was reported that the hotel clerk gravely injured in a Denver-area shooting spree died, taking the death toll to five. The rampage gunman, Lyndon James McLeod, was slain by a Lakewood police officer in exchange for gunfire, the authorities said. Denver Police Chief Paul Pazen said McLeod had been on “law enforcement’s radar” before the shooting as the subject of investigations in 2020 and again in 2021, but was never indicted with a crime.
