End of Watch. Police in Colorado identify officer killed in the line of duty, suspect in custody
Officer Vakoff died early Sunday.
Officer Dillon Vakoff, 27, was killed while responding to a large family disturbance call. When officers arrived, they found a "chaotic scene with multiple people in the street," the Arvada Police Department said.
The initial two officers tried to separate several belligerent and uncooperative individuals when the suspect began to fire a weapon, shooting a female victim.
An exchange of gunfire between officers and the suspect ensued, when Vakoff was struck and killed.
The suspect was also shot. He was taken to the hospital in police custody. He is expected to survive.
