Police say man fire shots, threatened others at multiple locations in Aurora
Police say a man fired shots and was being a menace at multiple locations before he was finally brought into custody.
Suspect Eugene Demetrius Robertson, 38, was arrested early on Tuesday after Aurora Police Department says he fired shots at a 7-Eleven, threatened someone at a Burger King and eventually fired shots into a condominium while people were inside.
According to the APD press release, police responded just before midnight to a call for shots fired/menacing at the 7-Eleven at 599 South Airport Boulevard. The store clerk said a man with a handgun entered and fired at least one shot before getting into a confrontation with a customer and firing more shots in the parking lot. No one was hurt at that the scene, and the suspect left in a car.
Police were investigating the 7-Eleven scene when they learned the suspect also reportedly threatened someone with a gun at the nearby Burger King across the street at 620 South Buckley Road before he went to the convenience store.
At about 1 a.m., police also started getting calls from Robinwood Condominiums off E Alameda Parkway, where the suspect was accused of firing a shot through the front door of a condo. There were multiple people, including children inside, but no one was hurt.
Police found the car that had left the 7-Eleven when they arrived at the condos, and police said the caller who reported the shots fired at the condos described the same suspect who had been at both the 7-Eleven and the Burger King.
Police searched the area of the condos, and one officer found the suspect and fired a shot, but no one was hurt.
Robertson was named as the suspect, and he was arrested and booked into jail. He faces charges for twelve counts of attempted murder, two counts of menacing, illegal discharge of a firearm and possession of a weapon by a previous offender.
APD says there is no threat to the public, and the critical incident response team for the 18th Judicial District is investigating the response that prompted the officer to fire a shot.
