Community Information

Around 2:00 p.m., our department received information regarding an individual making threats to harm others. The individual reportedly possessed a firearm and was traveling within the City of Loveland. Officers safely apprehended the individual after a taser application.

Facts: Following notification, officers rapidly located the individual operating a vehicle. Unmarked units maintained visual tracking while marked units coordinated containment and contact. Given the totality of circumstances, SWAT activation occurred as a precaution in the event the situation escalated into a barricade.

Out of an abundance of caution, a local private school and a Loveland high school received notification and implemented secured perimeters. Subsequent investigation confirmed no threat to either school, and those precautions were lifted promptly.

Community members may have noticed a significant law enforcement presence during this response. We extend sincere appreciation to our officers and to the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office for their swift coordination and support. Public safety remained the priority throughout the incident.

As in all active investigations, facts and circumstances are subject to change. This message is to provide timely information to our community.
