The Latest: Colorado man drank scotch before shooting cops
DENVER (AP) — The Latest on the fatal shooting of a sheriff's deputy in Colorado (all times local):3:35 p.m.
A man who shot and killed a Colorado sheriff's deputy says he was drinking in a video streamed online before the shooting.
Denver's KUSA-TV obtained the footage , one of several videos that Matthew Riehl broadcast on Periscope on Sunday.
He is seen holding a glass in his hand and says he's had two scotches. He is heard saying that drinking would help him defend himself if someone bothers him.
The station says the videos include footage of him firing on deputies who came to his suburban Denver apartment after he called 911.
It did not broadcast that portion but a clip purporting to show it has been posted elsewhere online.
