"He was doing his job and he was doing his job well … Unfortunately, his life was taken from us this morning." Ambush-style shootingThe ambush-style shooting in a residential area south of Denver also left four other deputies and two civilians with gunshot wounds. A man used a rifle to fire more than 100 rounds at the deputy sheriffs before police fatally shot him. They all went down almost within seconds of each other, so it was more of an ambush-type of attack on our officers," Spurlock said. Police have not yet positively identified the shooting suspect.
