A gunman who shot at police officers in Colorado, killing one and wounding four others as they responded to a call, was a US army veteran who had served in Iraq. Matthew Riehl, 37, is thought to have posted online rants railing at local law enforcement in the weeks before the deadly “ambush-style” attack. Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock said deputies wounded in a volley of gunfire had fought to save their slain colleague but were forced to give up and crawl to safety.
