Keep your enemies close ...


Suspect fires at, attempts to bomb, LoDo law firm

Denver police are looking for an elderly man who may be a client of a law firm at 20th and Market streets who came in about 10:45 a.m., fired one shot, threw what apparently was a Molotov cocktail and left.

Denver police spokesman Sonny Jackson said the shot didn’t hit anyone and the gas bomb went out before it could do any damage.

"We don’t know what prompted this, but believe the man was a client of a law firm at that location," he said.

no wonder there was a shooting--the assailant probably mistook the building for a medium-security prison.

Boy, creditor and bankruptcy sounds just like the kind of firm that would have disgruntled, deperate clients. Scary stuff indeed.

legally: i think the question is, in a firm that gets fire-bombed, why aren't there attack dogs everywhere?
