At 7:50 p.m., officers were sent to the 3900 block of Malta Street after a resident reported that a man was threatening them with a weapon inside their home, Ron Thomas, a division chief for the Denver Police Department, told reporters.
Police confronted the armed man in the backyard of the home and ordered him to drop his weapon.
When he didn’t comply, officers fired their Tasers at him. The stun guns were ineffective and the man went back inside the home, Thomas said.
