GREENWOOD VILLAGE — An online gamer’s video shows the moment armed officers burst into an office in Littleton Wednesday afternoon to investigate a report of an “active shooter.”
The report proved to be false, but the investigation caused nearby schools to enact security procedures and businesses to be evacuated.
Officers were searching the office buildings at West Mineral Avenue and Broadway after a report of an active shooter, but found no evidence of a shooting. They now suspect this was a false report and are searching for the person who used a landline phone to call in the hoax.
7News was on the second floor of one of the buildings as employees were being questioned at a production company that specializes in video game-related content. According online business listings, the company is called The Creatures LLC.
