Police Agent Nick Graham was shot and killed while responding to a suspicious person near Wadsworth Boulevard and West Colfax Avenue in Lakewood.
Around 6:30 p.m., police agents followed a man who they believed to be involved in an earlier hit-and-run incident. When they approached him as he was boarding a bus, the suspect opened fire, striking four agents and a civilian.
The suspect, who had a long criminal history for over 20 years and was out on parole despite receiving 10 years for assaulting a law enforcement officer and violating the conditions of his parole, was shot and killed by responding agents.
Agent Graham succumbed to his wounds at a local hospital. Two other agents and the civilian were treated for non-life-threatening wounds. A fourth agent is still being treated.
Agent Graham served with the Lakewood Police Department for more than seven years. Survivors include his wife and young child.
