Despite efforts at reform, Colorado officers still shoot people at a high rate

Recent shootings across the state, some deadly, are reminders of the persistence of Colorado law enforcement officer shootings in a state awash in guns.

The shooting lasted only 10 seconds, from when the Douglas County deputy opened the door of his patrol car until he fired nine rounds, killing a man holding a gun.

But the repercussions seem likely to last for months or years.
