Bizarre Shooting at Eldora Ski Area
Two people are dead and a Boulder Sheriff's deputy is injured after an employee of the Eldora ski area apparently shot and killed another employee early this morning. No identities have been released, and a motive has not been discussed by Boulder Sherriff department. Following the shooting, witnesses called 911 while the suspect left Eldora in a car headed south on Colorado 119. A deputy on duty in Nederland heard the call and headed toward the mountain. A car chase ensued which went on for a mile or two on Colo. 119 and ended in "an exchange of gunfire." A Boulder sheriff said multiple rounds were fired into both the deputy's and suspect's car. The suspect was killed, and the deputy was injured by glass from his windshield. He was taken to Boulder Community Hospital and is good condition.
