“It’s crazy,” said Denver criminal defense attorney Birk Baumgartner.”They shot him through a window in the back.”
Baumgartner said officers did not announce they were outside the house of Andy Huff, 22, in the city’s Side Creek neighborhood nor identify themselves as police officers prior to the shooting last Thursday. He said one officer opened fire, shooting five times into the house and striking Huff in the buttocks.
Police have released few details about the shooting, citing APD policy. Today, they identified Huff, adding that he would be charged with assault and menacing.
In a news release issued Tuesday, a spokeswoman wrote that “no further information is available for release at this time.”
The officer involved in the shooting has been placed on paid administrative leave, per department policy, police said.
