PARK COUNTY, Colo. (KDVR) — The impact of a Park County Sheriff’s Office staffing shortage had deputies cross county lines to help with a threat over the weekend.
FOX31 first broke a story back in March about a severe staffing shortage in Park County that prompted a cut of overnight patrols that ran between 9 p.m. and 9 a.m.
According to a Park County news release, last Saturday, during that same timeframe, a report of shots fired from a Gatewood Court home was received by dispatch. Due to staffing shortages in Park County, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office responded to the area of 395 Gatewood Court in Park County.
When deputies arrived outside the gate of 395 Gatewood Court, they encountered a man who was carrying a rifle outside of the residence. The man fired numerous shots in the direction of the deputies, who reportedly did not return fire.
