Woman killed, man wounded in El Jebel shooting
A woman was killed and a man was wounded in an apparent shooting in El Jebel on Saturday, according to the Eagle County Sheriff's Office.
Police responded to a call of shots fired at a home on Vega Drive in the Missouri Heights area of El Jebel at 11:30 a.m. Deputies found a woman already dead and a wounded man.
“Both appeared to have suffered gunshot wounds,” according to an Eagle County Sheriff's Office press release. The man was transported to Valley View Medical Center in Glenwood Springs in critical condition. He later died at the hospital.
El Jebel is in far western unincorporated Eagle County in the Roaring Fork River Valley near Aspen.
“At this time there is no threat to anyone in the El Jebel area,” police said. “This incident is currently under investigation.”
When asked by the Denver Post whether the man shot the woman and then turned the gun on himself, sheriff's spokeswoman Jessie Mosher told the Post, "We're not looking for any suspects." The man and the woman were reportedly married.
Anyone with information about the crime is asked to call the Eagle County Sheriff's Office at (970) 328-8500 or Eagle County Crime Stoppers at 970-328-7007 or 1-800-972-TIPS.
