As an investigation into a fatal Boulder police shooting began, Boulder’s police chief on Friday lauded two officers who responded swiftly to a report of domestic violence and confronted a 36-year-old man with a gun — shooting and killing him.
That man, later identified as Christopher Swanger, who was shot at 11:20 p.m. Thursday night in the 1700 block of Baseline, was wanted on an Adams County warrant related to a previous domestic violence incident on May 13 and was known to be armed, Chief Maris Herold said, speaking at a pressPolice dispatchers at 9:40 p.m. received a call “from a woman who was afraid for her life,” who told them the man was coming to her home and was known to carry a gun, Herold said.
“There was a confrontation and the man pulled out a gun,” according to a Boulder police statement posted on Twitter early Friday. “Two officers fired their weapons and the man died at the scene.” Herold said one of the officers initially tried to subdue Swanger using a Taser but it wasn’t effective and he pulled out a 9 mm gun. “Did the suspect fire shots? We are still looking at that,” she said.
