BRIGHTON, Colo. (KDVR) — One person was killed and three others were injured Tuesday night in an attack involving a machete, Brighton police said.

The incident occurred at a home in the 2400 block of Cherry Circle, which is near the intersection of East Bromley Lane and South 27th Avenue.

A neighbor says she heard lots of screaming coming from the house around 10 p.m.

According to Brighton’s acting police chief, the person who was killed is a female. She died at the scene.

The three people who were injured — two males and one female — were taken to a local hospital. Their conditions are unknown.

The victims’ names and ages have not yet been released.

The suspect, who fled the scene as officers arrived, was located after a short vehicle and foot pursuit involving the use of a police K-9 unit, and was treated at an area hospital for a dog bite. His identity is being withheld pending the filing of charges, police say.

Police said there is no threat to the public.

This is a developing story. It will be updated as more information becomes available.

By NOT telling me his name they've essentially told me everything i need to know. Low IQ, savages culturally enriching the hell out of those who feed them.

His identity will either never be released or withheld until the case is long forgotten.

Machete attack most likely means Mexico or Central America.

African most likely. They are notorious for using machetes.

Slightly off topic, but if any of y'all need a machete, this is the place to get one. I strongly recommend Tramontina.

*************

The level of violence in this country today was unthinkable not that long ago. And now the police everywhere are being scaled back thereby creating fertile ground for organized crime to flourish.

Well, at least somebody didn't say something, which seems to comprise most of the news these days.

So are the gangs of Central America.

Hacking to death with a machete is their signature.
