ARAPAHOE COUNTY, Colo. — The Arapahoe County Coroner's Office on Friday identified the man who held a woman against her will and was shot and killed by deputies earlier this week.
The Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office said it started just after 3 p.m. Wednesday, when deputies responded to a call of a man, later identified as 42-year-old Everett Duriel Shockley, holding a woman against her will at gunpoint at a home in the 4500 block of South Himalaya Circle. That's in the area just south of East Quincy Avenue.
The sheriff's office said deputies tried to get Shockley to come out peacefully and unsuccessfully attempted to contact him by phone and public address system. They learned that he had barricaded himself and the woman inside a bedroom, according to deputies, so deputies went into the room to rescue the woman. During a confrontation with Shockley, the sheriff's office said, deputies shot and killed him. No deputies were hurt.
The sheriff's office said the woman had been assaulted and had severe facial injuries. She was taken to the hospital, where she was still undergoing medical treatment on Thursday. She is developmentally disabled and is a resident of the host home where the incident took place. The sheriff's office said the suspect did not live there.
Sky Vista Middle School was placed on a secure perimeter during the incident.
The 18th Judicial District Critical Incident Response Team is investigating. The deputies involved will be placed on administrative leave with pay pending the outcome of the investigation, which is sheriff's office policy.
