WESTMINSTER, Colo. — Residents of a Westminster neighborhood have been told to stay in their homes after SWAT was called out to try to make contact with a man in connection with a death investigation Saturday afternoon.
According to the Westminster Police Department (WPD), officers were called out to a townhome on West 118th Place on a report of a disturbance at around 1:30 p.m. That’s located near 120th Avenue and Lowell Boulevard.
