Justin Sanders Arrested in Two Clear Creek County Shootings Held on $250,000 Bail

Formal charges are under review by the district attorney, with no public motive disclosed.

Overview

  • Deputies say the 34-year-old suspect fired multiple rounds into a residence at the Western Inn Mobile Home Park around 3 p.m., and the two occupants were unhurt.
  • Investigators report additional shots were fired later from a second-floor balcony at the Georgetown Lodge toward a person in the parking lot, who was not injured.
  • A shelter-in-place order was issued and the nearby Interstate 70 frontage road was closed during the search before Sanders was taken into custody on Thursday without further incident.
  • Sanders remains jailed on $250,000 bail pending counts that include two attempted first-degree murder charges, prohibited use of a weapon, and possessing and discharging a firearm while under the influence of alcohol.
  • An associate detained during the response was released after being found uninvolved, and multiple agencies assisted as the 5th Judicial District Attorney's Office evaluates final charges.
