The suspect, a man who was not identified by police, was taken into custody near Castle Rock around 6 p.m. Thursday. Police continue to investigate the shooting, which occurred about 3 p.m. Police say they have not determined the motive for the attack.

"We believe we have the person responsible for this incident in custody and there is not a danger to the public," Westminster police said in a statement. "Due to the ongoing nature of this investigation and the need to complete photo lines ups with several witnesses, we are not releasing the identity of the adult male at this time."

Police expect to release the identity of the suspect on Friday.

The mother, her two sons and the unrelated man were the only people wounded in the attack, police said. No one inside the nearby office buildings were injured. None of the victims have been identified.

Police announced late Thursday that the scene at 80th Avenue and Sheridan Boulevard is clear and all roadways have been re-opened.
