An intruder broke into the building of the Colorado Supreme Court building overnight. The suspect was arrested after he allegedly fired shots. No one was hurt. A fire was also reported.

An intruder shot out a window of the Ralph L. Carr Colorado Judicial Center, entered the building, and held an unarmed security guard at gunpoint early Tuesday morning. The suspect was arrested after allegedly firing additional shots and starting a fire inside the building that is the home of the Colorado Supreme Court and the Colorado Court of Appeals.

The Colorado Supreme Court made headlines late last year when it ruled that former President Donald Trump is disqualified from holding the presidency under the Constitution’s so-called insurrection clause and ordered the secretary of state to exclude his name from the state’s Republican presidential primary ballot. That decision has been appealed.

    Thanks for pointing this out. Of course the article leaves that this incident is believed to be unconnected to the ruling to the last line. Not that it would be entirely unexpected if it did happen considering the amount of threats they’ve been getting and the terroristic rhetoric of republicans.
