On Sunday morning in Summit Cove, residents woke up to emergency alerts that said they needed to take shelter because of a hazardous materials incident. However, what happened in their neighborhood was a shooting involving police.
SUMMIT COUNTY, Colo. —
“I just got the message when I was waking up. And I was a little confused, because at first it was like, alright, close all your doors... There might be like an airborne pathogen or something like that," Kenny Finch said about when he first read the messages.
He said the county tries to reserve the use of Integrated Public Alert & Warning System , which will send alerts to most anyone with a cell phone in Summit County. The county intentionally sends the alerts to the entire area they serve. “Unfortunately, we're willing to take the negative criticism and, you know, train and work with the public who is upset and try and let them understand why, in fact, they are getting those messages. And hopefully they understand that for the limited occurrences that they do happen, why it's so important and why we send them out countywide," Bovaird said.
The Summit Daily reports the victim in the Summit Cove shooting Sunday morning involving police was 18 years old, and that the call was related to mental health concerns. But that has not been confirmed.
