Inside the house, police found a man dead on the bathroom floor and a juvenile who had serious but not life-threatening injuries. Authorities determined the man found dead inside the home was an intruder and had caused the juvenile’s injuries.

“Our preliminary investigation has revealed the deceased intruder … was fatally shot by the armed, adult male resident,” Metz said.

Authorities did not identify the victims or any of the officers involved in the shooting. Metz said the officer who shot the homeowner has been placed on an administrative reassignment with pay, following standard police department procedure.

“This is a very heartbreaking and tragic situation for everyone involved,” Metz said. “We are providing assistance through our victims advocates to help the family of the deceased resident through this difficult time.”

Police are working with the Denver Police Department to investigate the incident.
