Boulder police respond to morning shooting, stabbing

In a single morning, the Boulder Police Department was called to a shooting and a stabbing. On Wednesday, July 3, the department was called to a stabbing near downtown and a shooting near Valmont and 28th Street.

In the shooting, a suspect has been arrested. Officers have charged the man with two counts of attempted first-degree murder, among other charges. The police department also reported that the same suspect shot a man on Friday, June 28, in the 1600 block of 28th Street. Police say the victim and suspect in the June 28 shooting knew each other, while the July 3 shooting is believed to have stemmed from an argument between two men who did not know each other.

“Crimes like these don’t happen often in our community. When they do, they instill fear and are of great concern to our agency, and we will take the perpetrators into custody as soon as possible,” Acting Chief Constable Stephen Redfearn said in a news release.
