Before confirming specifics of the purported gunshot, authorities claimed there was no immediate threat to the surrounding neighborhood. The violent acts that claimed two lives in our city, according to a statement from Thornton Mayor Jan Kulmann “saddened the Thornton City Council and me.”
“Violence of this nature is appalling at any time, but especially on Christmas Day. We are aware that the Thornton Police Department is only beginning its investigation, and we will discover more in the coming days.
For now, our aim is that every one of us may take some time to think about the people we cherish and discover a way to keep them close to us today, she said.
