ARVADA, Colo. — A teenager is dead following a shooting Thursday night in the 8100 block of Chase Drive in Arvada, according to a spokesperson for the department.
Police were first notified of the shooting inside a home just around 6:45 p.m. Thursday, Arvada Police Department (APD) spokesperson Dave Snelling said.
