Denver, Colorado — On November 27, Denver Police DPD officers were conducting extra patrol of the Cedar Run Apartment complex in the 800 block of Oneida Street in the Washington Virginia Vale neighborhood when they spotted a man in the northeast corner of the parking lot next to a pickup truck. Officers were initially drawn to the man because they overheard loud music emanating from a vehicle. The man, 32-year-old Zachary Yates, was moving boxes outside of the vehicles. When one of the officers approached, he noticed an unholstered handgun between his belt and pants on the back side of his waistband. Yates refused to comply with officers who told him he was unlawfully carrying a weapon. Yates stood with his hands at his side.

He asked the officers why it was illegal to have a gun, claiming he had a concealed handgun permit. Officers attempted to get the man to comply for around four minutes. Yates continued to argue with the officers, the video shows. The man then reached behind his back waistband area where the firearm was located. Two officers fired their weapons five times, hitting the suspect twice. Officers rendered aid until an ambulance arrived and took the man to a hospital, where he was treated for gunshot wounds. He survived and has since been released from the hospital. The officers recovered a Glock 17 with one round in the chamber. The magazine in the firearm had a capacity of 17 rounds with 16 in it. Both the magazine size and the gun are prohibited in Denver. Yates was charged with unlawfully carrying a firearm and prohibited possession of a high-capacity magazine.

  1. Those hating on the police in this instance , need to get a life and put yourselves in their situation.
    Clearly the guy knew putting hands on gun risked being shot. See if you want to risk a sub 2sec draw before you shoot. SMH

  2. Denver has the authority to suspend the constitution. They can just turn the constitution off whenever they want in the name of democracy. Isn’t that neat?

    That being said you get what you vote for, don’t resist arrest, and flee blue states (leave your blue politics there).

  3. Leave it to blue states to ban guns. Yet, they have the highest crime rates. Not to mention every cop in this video has a large capacity mag. Quite the irony.

  4. The shots clearly surprised the officer trying to de-escalate the situation. He didn't have the same view as the officers had. He clearly went to grab the gun. Unfortunate.

  5. "See wuh happeh wuz, my cuzzin DeyDey was in the army, im navy, and he loanted hiz gun to my cuzzin RayRay, but dis is a constitution state so my cuzzin NayNay sait dat he was gunna come by and borrow mys car, but i gotta truck, so when i was in da airforce they disrespectid my sistuh BeyBey and i aint havin dat cuz dis uh constitution, so my babymama come by to my other babymama house cuz the coort may me pay chaosupoort for my other babymama cuz i was disrespectid by da coort, so dis a constitution cuz i got rights…."

    I am fully convinced they shot him just to shut him the F up. But thats racist cuz " its dey cultchah, dinevehdunufin".

  6. I don't even know what words to say. All he had to do was comply. Maybe he had mental issues if he was a veteran. That poor officer was poring his heart out. Man what a sad situation.
