Armed man breaks into Colorado Supreme Court building, causes “significant and extensive” damage (www.denverpost.com)

A man shot through a window and broke into the Colorado Supreme Court building early Tuesday morning and caused “significant and extensive” damage in several areas of the building before surrendering to police, according to the Colorado State Patrol.

The man was involved in a crash about 1:15 a.m. near 13th Avenue and Lincoln Street a short time before he forced his way into the Ralph L. Carr Colorado Judicial Center, which houses the Colorado Supreme Court, the Colorado Court of Appeals and several other state agencies, according to a Colorado State Patrol news release.

This comes two weeks to the day after the state Supreme Court ruled Donald Trump cannot appear on the state’s primary ballot based on his actions surrounding the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol breach and riot by his supporters.

Police were investigating threats made to the Supreme Court justices in the week after the ruling and increased patrols around their Denver homes following at least one “hoax report,” the Associated Press reported.

Other reports show this might be a road rage incident with a nut job. Dude got in a crash with someone, pulled out a gun, and ended up breaking into the nearest building to hide.

The guy is bonkers, but it looks attacking the court wasn’t the primary goal.

Don't really know why you're being downvoted. This very well could be the case. I'm a Democrat but some of the stuff I see on here is a bit disturbing with how assumptions immediately come into play with 0 evidence.

People on here that are Democrats scream the right is the reason for all the disinformation and everything they read and do is a lie and yet this entire thread is full of no proof and may be proven to be disinformation. It's gross. Currently there is absolutely no evidence there is a link to the trump situation and yet assertions are being thrown around. Be better people. I fully expect to be downvoted into oblivion for speaking the truth because everyone wants to point at the opposite political party in every damn instance instead of it possibly being some geeked the fuck out person not having a damn clue what's happening

"WeRe ThE pArTy Of EvIdEnCe" obviously not because there's none to back up these claims. If it comes out this is due to the trump ruling then shit on them I don't care but stop doing this shit it's disgusting. You're not being any better than the right

Can you really blame people for assuming the usual terrorists are responsible when an act of terrorism occurs?

Yes. It does absolutely no good jumping to immediate conclusions like that. Wait for the facts. It's incredibly hypocritical to do that
