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.

Prayers for the Officer’s family and her soul.
I’ve seen it on COPS 100 times. Little girl cop pepper sprays the perp and yells at him to get on the ground, which he blows off, until male cop arrives to wrestle him down and cuff him.
