But his contribution regarding the "illegal immigration" has spilled itself full force into Colorado politics. This is especially true since the unwarranted killing of an off duty Denver police officer -- Donald Young. The assailant was an "undocumented worker" who was attending a wedding reception of a family member. He left the party and later tried to return, but was denied entry by the off duty officers hired to maintain order. According to reports by the Denver media, he then returned to his vehicle to obtain his gun, and went back to shoot the officers at the door from behind. Donald Young died. His partner was severely injured. ... .........
