As it turns out the shooters appartment did contain explosives, possably a great deal.
The appartment also appears to be boobytraped.
As of a quick briefing by Poliece and FBI, they are not certin as of yet how to deal with it.
Lots of fire department standing by in case they have to detonate.
Not much more information was given.
"it could be hours, or it could be days"
Forgot to mention,
Four (4) sorrounding appartment buildings have been evacuatid.
Were I to have an opinion. Possably LOTS of explosives.
Make that five (5) sorunding bildings...

Not a happy day here in metro Denver.
And it is going to be a 100 degrees.
Everything feels oppressive.

I'll echo 9 news....
This isn't the time to speculate.

(3,539 posts)BUT they have set up a "tips" line.
If this was not one person, this is not something they would/should tell us now as if their was an accomplis it would tip them off.
Best not to second guess this.

(3,539 posts)Apparently a lot of bottles with unknown liquid. Lots of things looking like explosives. They still aren't sure.
Unless fake, definitely booby trapped. Everything appears wired togther.
They can't tell if it is only in one room or in all rooms.
They are sweeping to make sure to people are in the building.
They are seriously thinking about sending in a robot after that.
I'm about 60 miles north. I wonder if when they send in the robot if the floor will vibrate.
