>> fellow officers rushed to a hospital in lakewood to support the two wounded deputies, both are still being treated at this hour. state troopers, officers from other agencies all coming by to support the wounded deputies and their families. the deputy nate carrigan was popular in the bailey community. >> an occupy denver leader and ran for the state senate. we are expected an update from the investigators at the scene. the shootout happened in rural park koun near pine and iris in bailey. the deputies went to martin wishth's home to evict him this morning. we do have team coverage. >> most of the afternoon, with the family of the other deputy who was transported to st. anthony's for treatment, he wanted to stay with the family, both families by their side throughout the entire afternoon, that was his priority. as we moved through the day and evening, he's going to come back

team here, and do some other each other. so while he wanted to be here, he wanted me to express that, why he isn't, and also, share his thoughts of thanks, and great pride for this community. it's been a tremendous outpouring of support. and truly loved. and we greatly appreciate that. especially the sheriff. so that's why -- we're hopeing comments at some point. it won't be today or tonight. we'll stay with that piece. as you know, a news release was recently sent out by the park county sheriff's office. that news release detailed the events of the day. listed those members of the park shot. and it also provided a little sheriff himself. if you don't have ak stes to that information -- access to that information, you can find oit tn jefferson county sheriff's office facebook site. the cbi is pushing that

serve and then park county has also sent that out. there are a lot of tunes to get the latest -- opportunities to get the latest information. i wanted to talk a little bit about corporal nate carrigan. so, i don't profess to be able to share the stories that are going to be released about nate, and the what he's meant to this community and what he's done to help everyone around him. what i do know is that he served his community in a superior way and he made the ultimate sacrifice today and his service to that community. and as we go into the evening, and we're doing things with our families -- we just ask that you keep nate and his entire family in your thoughts and prayers. turn on your porch lights, talk about nate, all of the wonderful things that our law enforcement officers are doing on the streets of our country each and every day. so fred will definitely -- the sheriff will take measure about nate and what he's meant to this community.

now because i couldn't begin to capture that. >> [ inaudible ]. >> that, i can't confirm. and we'll go into questions here in a minute. let's go a little bit further into the briefing. i do have an update on the conditions of the others who were shot and injured during the course of this incident today. master patrol deputy colby martin, he was transported to st. anthonys, was in surgery, he is in critical condition. that's the report from the hospital at this time. i'm very happy to report that captain mark hancock was also treated at st. anthony's and since been released, he's released from the hospital and being with his family at this point. and an update on the case. earlier today, as you know, the park county sheriff's office requested the assistance of the colorado bureau of investigation to process this scene, and to conduct the investigation. with the help of the jefferson county sheriff's office, and of

cbi, we're looking at about 100 people who have responded to this area to unravel this very comprehensive scene up at the house. so they're working steadily throughout the afternoon and they're going to go deep into the night. long after the sun sets, to process as much of this area as they can. and they'll keep coming back to this scene and until it is processed as completely as possible and as professionally as our people are trained to do. so in the news release, the suspect's name was released, i think you all have that. i know there are a lot of questions and in connection with the suspect, unfortunately, at this time, we are still vetting out this information, we know there are a lot of rumorss and chatters and things of that nature, but we can't make any specific comments about his involve. we are going to keep processing that, learning more, and when we

certain to provide that. >> can you talk about -- the priority is from now until morning? talk about processing the scene? -- [ inaudible ]. >> the question is, what is the priority tonight. we have the crime scene vehicle up in that area. and any number of agents and investigators, so the effort is to really understand what happened. so they're going to conduct a number of interviews, they're going to collect evidence. they're going to canvas the neighborhood, they're going to do what they can to really build that complete picture that relays what took place today. >> did you have a question? >>reporter: bomb squad called earlier and the s.w.a.t. team, did they find anything to indicate anything doing dangerous -- [ inaudible ]. >> the question is, that there was a bomb squad and the s.w.a.t. team were called out to the scene. they have since cleared, all is well.

abundance of caution with that mean m people responding to the scene, we wanted to make sure everyone was safe. >>reporter: was f this was a standard eviction why were there park county detectives on the scene? >> why were detectives there. i don't know the exact players who responded to the scene. i just know that there was a team that went in to take care of they viks process. as for why they were there, and you know, deeper into the element of what happened, i just can't comment on that at this time. >>reporter: [ inaudible ]. >> pardon. >>reporter: [ inaudible ]. so the question is, what did the officers know this was a high-risk situation. they had background information about the suspect in this case, but we're just not going to talk about it at this time. thoroughly and make sure we have a complete understanding.

>> i'm not sure about the protocols, i don't have that information for you at this time. >>reporter: other law enforcement -- [ inaudible ] providing support, tell me -- obviously, [ inaudible ] helping, regular duty -- [ inaudible ]. >> right. so who has been assisting park county today. to say there's been a massive outpouring of support from law enforcement across the state is really an understatement. it is what i've seen, just being at the substation, a number of officers coming and going, wearing different patches and i don't have the list of them, but ki certainly get that for you. people bringing food. we've had people simply stopping by and saying we're thinking about you, i'm sorry. weave seen this community before and they rally and to see the state law enforcement coming together to provide that saisens as well is truly remarkable.

specifically, right now, it's cbi with the assistance of the jefferson county sheriff's office along with the park county sheriff's office. >>reporter: can you clarify, has anyone been taken -- [ inaudible ]. >> there you have it, a very difficult date daye up in park county. we know that sheriff's corporal nate carrigan was shot and killed during an eviction situation today. and also, two others with the park county sheriff's office, deputy colby martin has had surgery today. he is still in critical condition. and i should say deputy martin being treated at st. anthony's hospital. mark hancock was treated and released from the hospital, that is good news. the dead man, the person that they went to that home trying to evict, martin wishth has been prominent with occupy denver. he was shot can and killed as the deputies returned fire. we expected to hear from the sheriff this afternoon at the

medina, susan with the colorado bureau of investigation, saying that the sheriff is very interested in how things are going at the hospital, he is martin and his family. let's get to mark taylor in the friendship range very busy scene all day. >>reporter: karen, this has been a very active crime scene, ever since we got here, this morning, we want to show you where this happened. if you look in the background about 200 yards away, there's a cream trailer with a deck behind it. that deck is attached to the home where this happened this morning. now, here's what we know right now. police say that just before 10:00 this morning, they came to this home to serve an eviction notice that's where the police say martin wirth came out on to his deck, paused and then went back inside. officers quickly followed him. and that's when he opened fire on them. and officers returned fire.

killed and two more -- deputy was killed in the fire fight. neighbors say martin wishth kept to himself. neighbors say he had several altercations with the police, one as recent as two weeks when wr he felt that the police were targeting him. she knew wirth had weapons. >> things happen, you know, because the officer shouldn't have lost his life, there shouldn't be two officer s in there wounded and i i don't think martin should be death. >>reporter: police are on scene here investigating. although they do say that residents in this area are in any danger, we have been hearing rumors that the bomb squad were on scene, but they don't see any danger for the people living in this area. we will keep you updated as we learn more. back to you. we have been digging deeper into the past of the community activist who opened fire, martin wirth. >> team coverage with
