Authorities in Aurora, Colorado, said police officers were trapped inside the city’s District 1 station for nearly seven hours during Black Lives Matter protests and riots.
“The unfortunate part is they trapped our officers inside, not just them being around the building, but physically wrapping ropes and other items around the doors of the district one station, around the entry exit gates our patrol cars come out of .. that was probably the most dangerous part,” Aurora Police Department spokesperson Matthew Longshore told KDVR.
