DOUGLAS COUNTY, Colo. — A man is in custody for allegedly stabbing a woman multiple times in Highlands Ranch Tuesday morning, according to the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.
Sheriff's deputies were called to Wagon Box Circle and McArthur Ranch Road in Highlands Ranch Tuesday morning where they found a woman stabbed multiple times. She was taken to a nearby hospital and is expected to survive her injuries, according to the the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.
The suspect had run away, so the sheriff's office ordered the neighborhood around the Southridge Recreation Center to shelter in place around 6:15 a.m. Tuesday as deputies searched for the suspect. Everyone in the area on the north side of McArthur Ranch Road from Rock Canyon High School was asked to stay inside their homes with the doors locked, and call 911 to report any suspicious activity.
The sheriff's office initially said they were looking for two potential suspects who may not be wearing shirts. The shelter-in-place was lifted shortly before 7 a.m., when the Douglas County Sheriff's Office told Denver7, one shirtless man was arrested during a search of the neighborhood. Now that he's in custody, the Douglas County Sheriff's Office said there is no ongoing threat to the public.
Denver7 is committed to making a difference in our community by standing up for what's right, listening, lending a helping hand and following through on promises. See that work in action, in the videos above.
