A Thornton police officer shot and injured a burglary suspect early Wednesday whom police said shot at them first. Officers responded to the robbery at the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) post at 10217 Quivas St. in Thornton around 3:35 a.m., according to a Thornton Police Department news release. An officer saw the suspect car leaving the VFW parking lot and officers in an unmarked police car followed it to the area of 84th Avenue and Greenwood Boulevard. One of the suspects shot at the officers from the car, but officers did not fire back, Denver Police Chief Ron Thomas said.
