Aurora police said that just before the shooting, Booth was “waiting in his vehicle along Nome St. with other employees due to the protest impeding their ability to gain access to the facility.” A verbal confrontation between Booth and two demonstrators ensued, after which the two women began walking away.

“At that point, Booth retrieved his personally owned pistol and fired a single shot in their direction, striking one of the women on her lower body,” said the APD release. “Booth then got into his vehicle and drove out of the area before he was detained.”

“This is a tragedy on all fronts, and the Aurora Police Department will investigate this incident with the same commitment to transparency and integrity as we do all shootings,” Aurora Chief of Police Todd Chamberlain said in a statement. “We remain committed to ensuring an ethical, thorough, objective, and comprehensive review of this case. Violence of any kind will not be tolerated in Aurora. Constitutional rights are a pivotal part of a just society — violence is not.”
