Police activity led to brief full closure of Interstate 25 in southern part of Denver metro area

Emergency crews closed both directions of Interstate 25 for a short time in the far southern part of Denver metro area early Tuesday afternoon. The closure was due to police activity, and it was where I-25 and C470/E-470 meet. That's in the Centennial/Lone Tree area.

So far it's not clear what the police response was for.
