ARVADA, Colo. (CBS4) – Community members are leaving flowers, flags and notes on a patrol car outside the Arvada City Hall, to show their respect and gratitude for a fallen police officer. Gordon Beesley was killed Monday in a shooting in Olde Town Arvada. Another person, described as a "Samaritan," was also killed — along with the suspect. By noon on Tuesday, the patrol car was barely visible under all the tributes. Beesley was with the Arvada Police Department for 19 years. He was a School Resource Officer at Oberon Middle School and was working patrol while school was out for the summer. Beesley's background includes working on patrol, and with the traffic unit as a motorcycle officer. Gordon Beesley (credit: Arvada Police)> Read more at CBS Denver.
