Editorial: Access to public records is vital — and shouldn’t be unnecessarily expensive

Boulder Daily Camera: At 4:10 p.m. on Dec. 17, Boulder police received a 911 call from a driver who said they were approached by a woman who had a gun in the driveway of the North Boulder Recreation Center.

Two minutes later, police arrived on the scene and located a woman near the rec center. According to a press conference the department gave shortly after, the woman did not cooperate with police and fled north on Broadway on foot. The woman was seen removing what appeared to be a firearm from her purse, prompting police to use less lethal forms of force against her, to no avail.

When these less-lethal tools failed, police officers shot the woman eight times. She was declared dead 40 minutes later.
