Police: Suspects In Double Shooting Were Dressed As Utility Workers

DENVER (CBS4) -- Denver police are still looking for at least one suspect in a shooting that left homeowner Mark Outman dead, and a female relative in critical condition. Police say the suspects posed as utility workers and were wearing reflective vests when they approached the home at 950 North Monaco Parkway early Monday.

Police say Outman was shot multiple times and died. A woman at the home was also shot, and remains in critical condition. Police said the female victim was a visiting family member and does not live at the home, but would not elaborate further on their relationship.

The burglary occurred at 11:25 a.m. Investigators say they do not know why the suspects targeted that home.
