Lakewood police agent dies in RTD bus shooting; all others discharged

Thursday evening around 6:30 p.m., a suspect fired on a Regional Transportation District bus near the corner of West Colfax Avenue and Wadsworth Boulevard. Police agent Nick Graham was killed in the exchange, while two other agents and a civilian sustained injuries. The three injured parties were taken to Denver Health; one remained at St. Anthony’s before all four were released from hospital care by Sunday night.

The incident occurred just a few miles north of Aurora, within the suburbs on the West Colfax corridor, a region that serves many Aurora commuters. The swift medical response and subsequent release of all four individuals have brought relief to families and neighbors.

The event has prompted city officials and local law‑enforcement agencies to review security protocols for RTD buses that feed commuters between Aurora and downtown Denver. Residents are advised to remain alert on the West Colfax corridor and report any suspicious activity to the transit police.
