A man was shot and killed by a Westminster police officer Sunday night after officers responded to a disturbance at an apartment complex.<\/p>\n

Just before 8 p.m. Sunday, officers were called to the 1400 block of 116th Avenue about a man being held down by several other people, according to a news release from the Westminster Police Department.<\/p>\n

When officers arrived on scene, they found an adult male on the ground, wrestling with several residents of the apartment complex, the release stated.<\/p>\n

According to the news release, an officer used his Taser but it wasn’t effective and the unidentified man had displayed a gun during the struggle.<\/p>\n

The officer fired his weapon, shooting the man, according to the release.<\/p>\n

Officers on the scene attempted to perform life-saving measures before paramedics transported the unidentified man to a local hospital, where he later died from his injuries. The man’s identity will be released by the Adams County Coroner’s Office.<\/p>\n

The officer will be placed on administrative leave while the incident is investigated by the 17th Judicial Critical Incident Response Team.<\/p>\n
