DENVER (KDVR) — Broomfield police are responding to what they called an active shooting at an apartment complex.

Just before 8 a.m. Thursday, the Broomfield Police Department said officers were on scene of an active shooting at the Arista Flats apartments at 8200 Arista Place, east of Wadsworth Parkway near the former 1stBank Center.

A reverse emergency notification has been sent to residents in the area to shelter in place, however, limited evacuations have been done, police said.

Police reiterated that the surrounding area is not safe, calling it “a very dangerous scene.” Shots are still being fired in the area, according to officers.

North Metro Fire Rescue said they are supporting Broomfield police with the scene. SWAT, as well as crisis negotiators, are also on scene.

Jefferson Academy Secondary School has been placed on secured status due to its proximity to the scene. A secure status means school is functioning as usual but the doors are locked and no one is allowed in.

FOX31 has a crew on the way to learn more and Broomfield police said they will provide updates as they become available.
