A man was shot and killed by police after what, police said, was a confrontation at an apartment complex in Westminster Sunday night.

Westminster Police (WPD) said the shooting occurred at the Skyview Apartments located at West 116th Avenue and Navajo Street at around 7:53 p.m.

Officers were called to the apartment complex after they received reports of a disturbance, police said.

When officers arrived, they found a man being held down by several residents, according to police. An officer tried using a stun-gun on the man but it was not effective, police said.

The man pulled out a handgun as he was fighting with one of the residents, WPD said in a release. An officer shot the man, police said.

Westminster police released updated information Monday afternoon, saying police had been called to that address for noise disturbances five separate times since Friday.

Each time, he would not answer the door. 

They responded to another one at 3:45 p.m. Sunday with a co-responder, and again he did not answer, according to police. 

When they were called again at 7:53 p.m. Sunday, it was because “an adult make who was throwing things off a balcony and damaging cars in the parking lot,” according to a news release.

When the officer arrived the second time, there was no co-responder because of the “active disturbance.”

Body camera footage exists, but was not released Monday.

“Officers started life-saving measure before the man was transported to the hospital where he later died, according to police.

Police said none of their officers were injured.

The officer who shot the man will be placed on administrative leave while the shooting is investigated, police said. The shooting will be investigated by the 17th Judicial Critical Incident Response Team, a team of investigators from law enforcement agencies in Adams and Broomfield Counties.

The identity of the man killed in the shooting will be released by the Adams County Coroner’s Office.
