CNN
The shooting that left three people dead in Arvada, Colorado, on Monday appears to have been a deliberate attack on a police officer, Police Chief Link Strate told reporters Tuesday afternoon.
Gordon Beesley, a 19-year veteran of the Arvada Police Department, and a bystander identified Tuesday as John Hurley, 40, of Golden, were fatally shot, along with the unnamed suspect, according to Strate. "I can tell you that Gordon was targeted because he was wearing an Arvada police uniform and a badge," Strate said. "Officer Beesley was ambushed by a person who expressed hatred of police officers."More Related News
