Colorado: Ambush of Denver Police Officers Caps Year of Mass Shootings
----------------------------------------------------------------------

In Denver, Colorado, a gunman used a rifle to fire at least 100 rounds
Saturday in an "ambush-style attack" at police who were responding to a
disturbance. The suspect, Iraq veteran Matthew Riehl, shot and killed
Sheriff Deputy Zackari Parrish and injured four other officers as well
as two civilians. The shooting occurred on the final day of a year that
saw more than 300 mass shootings, including the deadliest in modern U.S.
history in Las Vegas, which left 58 dead and more than 500 injured.
