An armed man was arrested early Tuesday after breaking in to the Colorado Supreme Court before it opened, firing a weapon, holding a security guard at gunpoint and starting a small fire, authorities said. No injuries were reported.
The Colorado State Patrol said a preliminary investigation showed “a high probability” the break-in wasn’t related to earlier threats against the justices, who ruled last month to bar former President Donald Trump from the Republican primary ballot in the state.
