Hostage Situation Reported At Denver RadioShack
Sep 7th 2012, 21:29

DEVELOPING -- Police are on the scene of a reported hostage situation at a Denver RadioShack, Fox 31 Denver reports.

Denver police confirm to Fox 31 there are at least two officers, one hostage and at least one suspect inside. There are believed to be two suspects. A crisis negotiation team is reportedly on the scene.

The hostage is reportedly the manager of the RadioShack, Chris Nimerfroh. Nimerfroh is reportedly a single father.

Ernest Watson, a friend of one of the suspects, tells Fox 31 the gunmen were attempting to rob the PayDay Loans store next door to the RadioShack. When police arrived on the scene, Watson says the suspects fired at police and then retreated into the RadioShack, taking a hostage with them.

Watson reportedly told Fox 31 that the suspects have no demands.

"They know they're either going to jail forever or that the police are going to shoot them," Watson told Fox 31.

Fox 31 reports one of the suspects, a 19-year-old male, has been posting on his Facebook. He reportedly posted a picture of himself inside the store, along with his cell phone number, urging friends to call him.

He reportedly also recently posted, "Swear to God, I'm gonna die."

Denver Police Det. John White says police arrived at the RadioShack after receiving a call about a robbery in progress. Police were reportedly fired at outside the store.

A three-block barricade has been set up around the store, according to Fox 31 reporters.

Police say four local schools are now on lockdown due to the standoff.
