Two Denver officers were shot early Sunday afternoon during an hours-long standoff that saw police deploy chemical agents and a house go up in flames before a suspect was taken into custody after dark.Police said the two male officers who were injured after responding to a shots-fired call in the 600 block of Inca Street were in fair condition at Denver Health Medical Center as of 8 p.m., about two hours after the standoff ended with the suspect being taken away in an ambulance.Denver firefighters remained at the scene for several hours afterward, putting out a fire at the house where the suspect was believed to have had barricaded himself, Denver police Chief Paul Pazen said.”This has been a very challenging day not only for our department, but also for the community,” Pazen said.Additionally, a Denver Metro SWAT officer was injured in a traffic crash as the team was heading to the scene of the shooting, police said. The officer was the only one injured in the crash and is expected to make a full recovery.The suspect was transported to Denver Health shortly after being taken into custody, police said. The person’s identity and condition were not disclosed by authorities.”We believe this threat has been taken care of, and there is no additional threat to the community at this time,” Pazen said.The cause of the fire has yet to be determined, he said.
