DENVER — Deputies with the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office were actively searching for a shooting suspect after a woman was shot and critically wounded Saturday morning.
Deputies have set up a perimeter and a shelter-in-place was issued for residents in the 3600 block of South Sheridan Boulevard, just south of US 285.
The shelter-in-place has since been lifted, but the suspect remains at large.
The suspect, described as a heavy-set white male, was last seen running northbound through a field near Sheridan, according to the sheriff's office.
The woman was transported to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.
No other details were immediately available.
