Final Words
Several barricade situations have been dealt with by our officers in the past few weeks, said Patrol Lieutenant Kevin Cronin. We routinely practice for situations like these because they are difficult and constantly changing. Using time, distance, and resources, we hope to keep everyone safe and ensure that everyone makes it home at the end of the day.
Marshall-Passero has been arrested and lodged in the Larimer County Jail. It is no longer necessary to take cover inside.
