The Latest on a sheriff’s deputy who was shot and killed north of Denver (all times local):

11:50 p.m.

Authorities have taken a suspect into custody and are looking for two others after a sheriff’s deputy was shot to death during a confrontation north of Denver.

A spokeswoman for The Adams County Sheriff’s Office says deputies were called to an “assault in progress” Wednesday night and saw one of the suspects run behind a house. She says that suspect pulled a handgun and shot the deputy in the chest before fleeing. He was taken into custody a short time later.

Investigators set a large perimeter in their search for two other suspects, who remain on the loose.

The deputy’s name and age have not been released, and the spokeswoman did not release any other information about what led to the shooting in a residential area about 8 miles (13 kilometers) north of downtown Denver.

The shooting happened less than a month after 29-year-old Douglas County sheriff’s deputy Zackari Parrish was fatally shot and four other officers were injured in an ambush in suburban Denver.
