Multiple officers were shot Sunday morning while responding to a disturbance call in a residential neighborhood outside Denver, Colo.

“We have multiple officers down,” Douglas County Sheriff Deputy Jason Blanchard told the Denver Post. “We are not giving numbers or status at this point, we are still working on getting the suspect in custody.”

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office instructed citizens of Highland Ranch, where the incident occurred around 6 a.m. local time, to shelter in place as the gunman is still at large.

DCSO is working an officer down call in the area of County Line Rd between Colorado Blvd and University Blvd. This is an active event, please avoid the area.
