A man carrying a gun and declaring “I am the emperor and I’m here to take over state government” was shot and killed in a hallway outside the Denver Capitol offices of Democratic Gov. Bill Ritter by a state patrolman, a spokesman said. Ritter was in his office; he was not hurt.
The unidentified man refused orders to drop his gun, spokesman Evan Dreyer said. The man did not fire his weapon, police spokesman Sonny Jackson said.
