BROOMFIELD, Colo. — A woman was fatally shot Thursday during an over three-hour-long standoff near Denver, where a male suspect was shot by police before being arrested and transported to the hospital with serious injuries, authorities said. After officers negotiated with the suspect, they forced their way into the apartment at the Arista Flats complex in Broomfield where the 34-year-old man was holding the woman hostage and arrested him, said Rachel Haslett, a spokesperson for the Broomfield Police Department. “He was threatening to hurt people,” said Haslett, who didn’t release the suspect’s name and said she didn’t know what weapons he might have used. Several law enforcement officers fired their weapons, and some received minor injuries, Broomfield police said in a statement Thursday afternoon.
