DENVER (KDVR) — A veteran Denver police officer and single mother was shot and killed trying to break up an altercation in City Park Sunday night.
Hundreds were in the park attending the kickoff event for the popular City Park Jazz festival when a fight broke out between two groups at approximately 8:07 p.m. Denver police officers were attempting to break up the fight when shots were fired.
The female officer was shot in the head and rushed to Denver Health. She died from her injuries shortly after arrival.
FOX31 learned the name of the slain officer, but will wait to release that information at the request of the DPD because all members of her family had not yet been notified Sunday night. FOX31 can confirm the officer was 32 years old and had moved to Denver from Detroit. She also was a board member of a prestigious police officer’s association.

Alex can't help ya with this one. He's down with a heart attack!
I have to disagree. Jazz festivals are usually more sophisticated. Unless they consider (c)rap jazz.
Teehehe. I thought I would find someone who agreed with me.
I just didn't think it would be you.
Why?
RIP.
I told ya those beatniks and their jazz music would lead to no good!
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Officers family.
Maxine’s fault...

She was working an off-duty job at this jazz concert, normally a very tame event, and a couple of “groups” (gangs, but Denver won’t admit it has a gang problem” showed up and started fighting.
Prayers for her family and loved ones... and a special prayer for her daughter... Thanks for sharing livius.
Be prepared when SHTF..MAYBE....COMING soon suburbanites must be prepared and armed....know how to shoot at center mass. Boy I feel the heet coming on around November time. Keep an watchful eye out on Obama, and suspicious activity in neighbor hood......most of all get a CWP.
We’ve lost a brave woman. No mercy for the perps.
But we CAN tell you she was a:
Thank goodness Fox31 is withholding her name. Mighty big of you.
I thought the same thing. They gave all the liberal talking points about her but felt they needed to withhold her name.
Got it all, and then *some*. Be Safe.
Not possible here in Jersey unless you are a LEO, politically connected or a big RAT donor. You have to prove a need, and the proof is never quite enough without the connections.
We will just have to stop being law abiding citizens where the law is contrary to the Constitution.
Only if Kenny G is one of the performers.
This doesn’t sound like gangbanger music:

Yeah, that's what the mayor of Norfolk, VA said about the Laborfest riots.
"We got all the inner-city lowlifes together for a festival of music and heavy drinking, how did it all go wrong?"
And of course, the mayor is talking about 'get the weapons off the streets'...
