By David Montero, Rocky Mountain News November 22, 2005 A bounty hunter allegedly opened fire Monday on a wanted man in the parking lot of a west Denver elementary school where students were just getting out of class. No students were injured. The wanted man, Mike Lopez, 24, was not apprehended. Officers arrested one of the bounty hunters on suspicion of negligent discharge of a firearm, said police spokesman Sonny Jackson. Although Jackson identified the bounty hunter taken into custody, he could not verify the spelling of his name. Jackson said the gunfire near Charlotte Godsman Elementary School, 2120 W. Arkansas Ave., "leaves us greatly concerned." The situation began when two bounty hunters went to the 1300 block of South Umatilla Street about 2:30 p.m. to look for Lopez, Jackson said. Lopez saw the pair and tried to drive away in a light blue Ford Thunderbird. One of the bounty hunters positioned himself in front of Lopez's car and ordered the driver to get out, Jackson said. When Lopez refused, the bounty hunter fired a round into the Thunderbird. A chase ensued to the school, where one of the bounty hunters fired more shots, Denver police patrolman Gary Hise said. "There were gobs of (kids) all over the place," Hise said. Mark Stevens, Denver Public Schools spokesman, said campus administrators think more than half of the Godsman student population already had left school when the gunfire occurred. Administrators kept the other students inside the building and declared a lockdown. The school's staff notified parents to come pick up their children, Stevens said. Sally Atayde was with her 8-year-old son, Tony, and her nephew, 10-year-old Thomas. "I heard the shots," Thomas said, unable to suppress a smile and a twinge of pride. "Then they locked the classroom doors." Hise said that although no one was hurt, a pregnant woman at the school began experiencing contractions upon hearing the gunfire. "Whether there was some connection to this or not we don't know, but she suddenly went into labor," Stevens said. Counselors will be available today, he said. |

I am trying to get the name of the FRA that did this. I am beginning to think you may be right about the class just being taught. We tried to get clients in that area but, the schools are spitting so many un-qualified idiots out at record paces that they come in and do the work for 4 - 5 %. |

Okay...let me gather my thoughts...it is early for me ya know. As I always contend, I cannot confirm or deny events that I did not witness, but what in the world happened! A school, firearm(s), attempted automobileacide, children, flying bullets, contractions, and who knows what else may come out in the wash? This is an interesting one to follow as such a case may have a ripple effect. Rex |

Definately going to jail had this been in California. Unlawful in most States to carry a firearm near a school, let alone fire away at bad guys ON school grounds. |

Haven't heard anything on the National media yet. Maybe this thing will die a quick and quiet death and not have too bad of an affect. Let's hope. |

It should die pretty quick since Colorado is in the news about Bondsman and Bail Enforcement on almost a daily basis. Just yesterday a bondsman was arrested for sending $100 to a deputy sheriff thanking them for all of the referrals while on their shift. It turns out the bondsman sent it pretending to be from another bonding company just to get them in trouble. |
