科罗拉多州公交车枪战：一名警员殉职、三名警员受伤 枪手被当场击毙
据美联社报道，位于美国科罗拉多州杰斐逊县的 Lakewood 市警方11月6日周五公布，在前一天傍晚一辆公交车上发生的枪战中殉职的警员是33岁的 Nic Graham。这起枪战共造成 Graham 殉职、三名警员受伤、一名路人受伤，开枪的嫌疑人被警员当场击毙。
据警方介绍，11月5日下午3时45分前，警员接到报告，Kipling Street 与 West 13th Avenue 一带发生肇事逃逸。当天傍晚约6时30分，警员在 West Colfax Avenue 与 Wadsworth Boulevard 路口发现一名与描述相符的男子，此人正试图登上一辆地区交通署（RTD）76路公交车。警员登车后，该男子突然开火，四名警员中枪。Graham 送医后伤重不治；另三名警员被送往当地医院救治，其中一人到周五仍在住院；一名路人也在事件中受伤。嫌疑人被警员回击，当场死亡。
Graham 于2019年加入 Lakewood 警局，出身警务家庭，父亲曾任警员、母亲曾在犯罪实验室工作。他2023年成为外勤培训警员，同年因帮派情报工作与重大案件调查支援获得部门奖项；之后他进入调查组，经手322宗重大案件，是全组经手案件最多的一人。警局局长 Philip Smith 周五在记者会上说：「他的成绩说明了他做过什么；受他帮助的人心怀的感激，说明他的服务有多重要。」警方称，Graham 是「挚爱的丈夫与父亲」，家中有一名1岁的孩子。
Lakewood 市长 Wendi Strom 发表声明说，这是所有涉事警员的家人、朋友与同事共同的悲剧。RTD 表示对这起枪击事件深感关切。这起涉警枪击正由第一司法区重大事件响应组主导调查，科罗拉多州调查局（CBI）提供协助。警方表示，嫌疑人的身份要等通知其近亲之后再公布。Lakewood 警局建局之初仿效联邦调查局（FBI）的建制，因此称自己的警员为「探员」（agents）。

Colorado Bus Shootout Kills One Lakewood Officer, Wounds Three; Gunman Shot Dead
The police department in Lakewood, a city in Jefferson County, Colorado, on Friday identified the officer killed in a shootout aboard a public bus the previous evening as Nic Graham, 33, the Associated Press reported. The gunfight left Graham dead, three other officers wounded and a bystander injured; the gunman was shot dead by officers at the scene.
Police said officers first responded shortly before 3:45 p.m. on November 5 to a hit-and-run near Kipling Street and West 13th Avenue. At about 6:30 p.m., officers spotted a man matching the description near West Colfax Avenue and Wadsworth Boulevard as he tried to board a Regional Transportation District (RTD) Route 76 bus. When officers boarded the bus, the man opened fire, striking four officers. Graham died of his injuries; the three other officers were taken to area hospitals, and one remained hospitalized on Friday. A bystander was also injured. The suspect was killed by return fire at the scene.
Graham joined the Lakewood Police Department in 2019 and came from a police family: his father recently retired from police work and his mother worked in a crime lab. He became a field training agent in 2023 and received a department award that year for gang intelligence work and investigative support. He later joined the investigations division, where he handled 322 major-crime cases, the largest caseload on the team. "His accomplishments tell us what he did. The gratitude of those he helped tells us how much his service mattered," Police Chief Philip Smith said at a news conference on Friday. The department described Graham as a loving husband and father to a 1-year-old child.
Lakewood Mayor Wendi Strom said in a statement that the shooting was a tragedy for the families, friends and colleagues of all the agents involved. RTD said it was deeply concerned by the shooting. The officer-involved shooting is being investigated by the First Judicial District Critical Incident Response Team, with support from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. Police said the suspect's identity would be released after his next of kin are notified. The Lakewood department, initially modeled after the FBI, refers to its officers as agents.
