Aurora police detain 14 people after report of armed home invasion at Edge of Lowry apartments

Aurora police detained 14 people early Tuesday morning following a reported home invasion that involved a stabbing and kidnapping at the soon-to-close Edge of Lowry apartments, authorities said.

Officers responded to an armed home invasion at the apartment building in the 1200 block of Dallas Street just before 2:30 a.m. Tuesday, according to the Aurora Police Department.

The 60-unit apartment complex, the subject of international press coverage after a video clip of heavily armed men inside one of its five buildings went viral, is set to close in the coming months as part of a deal reached earlier this month between Aurora officials and the apartments’ owners.

Police on Tuesday said several suspects broke into an apartment in the complex early that morning and took the two people inside to another apartment, threatened them and tied them up. One man was stabbed, but Aurora investigators said he is expected to survive.

The victims were eventually released by the suspects, at which point they called 911, police said. Multiple Aurora officers responded to the apartments and detained 14 people for questioning.

Police said the investigation is ongoing and no additional information was available Tuesday morning. A news conference is scheduled to be held at 10 a.m. Tuesday.
