PROBLEM: More than 100,000 Chinese have signed a petition on a White House website urging the US to deport the chief suspect in a 19-year-old case of poisoning. 
  
 Chinese citizens dubious about their country’s legal system are seeking justice in an unusual place for the victim of an alleged attempted murder in China. They are taking the case to the White House. 
  
 More than 100,000 people have signed a petition on a White House website urging the US to deport the chief suspect in a 19-year-old unsolved case of poisoning that continues to excite strong emotions here. Adding piquancy to the case: The suspect is very well-connected politically in China. 
  
 In 1994, a chemistry student at one of China’s top universities, Tsinghua, called Zhu Ling was poisoned with Thallium, a chemical often used in rat poison. She did not die, but was left nearly blind, paralyzed, and brain-damaged, needing constant care from her increasingly aged parents. 
  
 Her fate has not been forgotten, says Wu Hongfei, a former journalist who has followed Ms. Zhu’s case closely, partly because she was pretty and smart and partly because Tsinghua is so prestigious. But the main reason, says Ms. Wu, is that the only real suspect in the case “had close ties to high ranking officials.” 
  
 Sun Wei, Zhu’s roommate at Tsinghua, was investigated by the police at the time of the incident, but was never charged, though reports at the time said she had access to Thallium. The police said there was not enough evidence to pursue the case; many ordinary citizens believe that evidence was covered up because Ms. Sun’s father's cousin had been deputy mayor of Beijing and her grandfather was reputedly a friend of then President Jiang Zemin. 
  
 “Because of her family background … she avoided punishment,” complained one netizen, posting as “@Jinse Guniang” on Sina Weibo, a Twitter-like social media platform. 
  
 Sun changed her name and is believed to now be living in the United States. 
  
 The case has erupted again into the public consciousness in the wake of last month’s arrest of a student for fatally poisoning his roommate at another prestigious university, Fudan, in Shanghai. The suspect in that case has confessed to putting poison in his dorm-mate’s water dispenser, saying he did it for a joke. 
  
 Zhu's case continues to rankle. On Monday, after just three days on the White House website, the petition concerning Sun had drawn more than the 100,000 signatures required for the US administration to offer a response. On Sina Weibo, terms relating to the case accounted for three of the top five search words. 
  
 Journalist Wu has little hope that the White House petition will do any good. Dissident artist Ai Weiwei “attracted a lot of international attention but he is still not allowed to leave China,” she points out. But as public pressure mounts at home, the authorities appear to be listening. Over the weekend, social media posts including such words as “Thallium” or “Zhu Ling” were being scrubbed from the Internet by Chinese censors, apparently afraid of criticism of the Chinese judicial system. 
  
 By Monday, the censors had lifted their search blocks. And even the state owned media have joined in the chorus of demands. 
  
 The online version of Peoples’ Daily, organ of the ruling Communist Party and Xinhua, the official news agency, shared a headline: “China, Ruled by Law, Should Seek Justice.” At long last, the victim of that unsolved poisoning seems to have friends in high places, too. ||||| Bei, who later went on to start a software development company, for the first time realized that the Internet was going to be a game-changer. “Before that you could not imagine there are nearly, I think, 200 doctors all over the world who can join together to diagnose this girl, and make the right diagnosis, and give treatment advice. It’s impossible to imagine, it’s like a dream,” he told me. 
  
 Unfortunately, this story has far from a happy ending. Over the years there has been intense netizen speculation that Sun Wei, Zhu’s roommate, was saved from prosecution by her family connections. Sun Wei was reportedly the only person in Zhu's circle with access to thallium. (Sun Wei denies this.) One theory is that she was motivated by jealousy. Online bulletin board sites were flooded with rumors, accusations of guilt and attempts to even hunt down Sun Wei. 
  
 We may never know what really happened. But as a satisfying verdict was never reached in Chinese courts, someone appearing to be Sun Wei ended up testifying in the court of online opinion. The pressure grew so fierce that in 2005, Sun Wei issued a statement on the popular Tianya bulletin board site. “I am innocent,” she wrote. “I am also a victim of the Zhu Ling case.” She claimed that she had been questioned by police and subsequently cleared of suspicion. Sun Wei even went as far as to scold Chinese netizens for their behavior: “On the Internet, even though everyone is just a virtual ID, one should still be rational and objective, and responsible for his own words and actions.” 
  
 Netizens, of course, were far from convinced. Now many believe that Sun Wei has left China, and is residing in the United States. There is even a petition on the White House Web site demanding the deportation of Sun Wei. It already has thousands of signatures. And now, making matters worse, netizens suspect that weibo is covering something up. As of May 4, when you searched for Zhu Ling’s name on Sina weibo you learn that according to Chinese law, the results cannot be displayed. Even “thallium” has become a sensitive word, as are other words connected to the case. 
  
 This level of Zhu Ling-related censorship is new. Zhu Ling’s story has been floating around the Internet for years, and has even been covered by Chinese state media. But now censors are getting worried, in large part because at the end of the day, people are not simply angry about one unsolved crime. Rather, anger over this case reflects a widespread lack of trust in China’s rule of law. As long as the truth of Zhu Ling’s case hasn’t come to light and nobody has been brought to justice, one netizen wrote, “the Chinese dream can only be the powerful officials’ dream.” 
  
 Weibo censorship has only made people more angry and suspicious. One netizen wrote, “A lot of information about Zhu Ling has been censored. So we can then see that Sun Wei is the murderer.” Another said, “You can delete Weibo and the two characters for Zhu Ling. Can you [also] delete the truth?” One person encouraged microbloggers to continue inundating weibo with comments related to the crime. That way, short of Sina shutting down weibo itself, it would be impossible to erase the people’s pursuit of justice. 
  
 Of course, it would be far better if this pursuit took place through the actual legal system, rather than on the Internet. The silver lining is that intense interest on weibo is yet another sign of increasing rights awareness among ordinary Chinese, as well as a collective desire for a fairer system. From the beginning of the Zhu Ling drama, the Internet has helped ordinary citizens form networks to solve problems. It helped to save Zhu Ling’s life, and now it is ensuring that her case is not forgotten. Nor is this online activism in pursuit of an abstract notion of justice. If we don’t stand up for Zhu Ling, people reason, who will stand up for me? 
  
 That's why so many people remain fascinated by Zhu Ling's case. Bei Zhicheng puts it best: “Many of our generation have successful careers and comfortable lives,” he said. "Zhu Ling should have been one of us.”

SOLUTION: An unsolved poisoning case has enthralled China, 19 years after the fact, and now more than 112,000 people have signed a petition asking the White House to investigate and deport a former suspect who is said to have moved to the US. Zhu Ling was a chemistry student at a top Chinese university when she was poisoned with Thallium in 1994, the Christian Science Monitor explains. She survived, but is now almost blind, paralyzed, and suffering from brain damage. Her case attracted quite a bit of attention at the time owing to the fact that she was young, smart, and attractive; it was never solved, and now a recent, similar poisoning has re-ignited interest. Police investigated Zhu's roommate, Sun Wei, who was said to have access to Thallium, but she was never charged due to a lack of evidence. Many speculated, however, that evidence was actually covered up because Sun's family was politically connected. She changed her name and is thought to live in the US now; in 2005, she even issued a statement declaring her innocence, the New Republic adds. The case was brought back to the forefront of public attention last month, when a student was arrested for fatally poisoning his university roommate. A journalist who has followed the case doubts the petition will do any good, but the Chinese government has definitely taken notice: Censors were briefly removing social media posts about the case, but now even state media are calling for further investigation.

PROBLEM: "The president is thinking about pardoning nobody," Anthony Scaramucci said.

 New White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci insisted that President Donald Trump isn't considering any pardons for family members or staffers targeted by special counsel Robert Mueller, and also dismissed Donald Trump Jr.'s meeting with a lawyer linked to Russian intelligence as a "non-event." 
  
 "The president is thinking about pardoning nobody," Scaramucci said in a combative interview Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union."

 After host Jake Tapper pressed him on why Trump would tweet about his pardon powers, Scaramucci responded: "It has been coming up a lot, because there's an undercurrent of nonsensical stuff."

 Tapper interjected: "Because he has asked advisers about it." 
  
 "Oh, come on, Jake," responded Scaramucci, founder of the investment firm SkyBridge Capital. "This is the problem with the whole system. He's the president of the United States. If I turn to one of my staff members at SkyBridge and ask them a question and they run out to the news media and tell everyone what I'm thinking about, is that fair to the president?" 
  
 "The truth of the matter is that the president isn't going to have to pardon anybody, because the Russia thing is a nonsensical thing," Scaramucci continued. 
  
 Scaramucci, who said the White House needed to be better about its messaging, also alleged the investigations into a meeting among Trump Jr., Paul Manafort and Jared Kushner and a lawyer with ties to Russian intelligence agencies were much ado about nothing. 
  
 "Once they realized there was no legitimacy to it, people were walking out or they were on their iPhones," he said. "It was a non-event, and if we want to turn it into a two-week, four-week news cycle, that's fine. But it was a non-event." 
  
 During the interview, Scaramucci also cited an anonymous expert as suggesting that if the Russian hackers were messing with the 2016 election, Americans would never have found out about it because they were so good at it. 
  
 When pressed by Tapper as to who the expert was, Scaramucci said it was Trump: "How about it was — how about it was the president, Jake?" 
  
 After Tapper reiterated that "the consensus of the intelligence community" was that the Russians had intervened, Scaramucci clarified the president's views. 
  
 "I talked to him yesterday. He called me from Air Force One," he added. "And he basically said to me, hey, you know, this is — maybe they did it. Maybe they didn't do it." 
  
  ||||| President Trump’s attorney on Sunday emphasized that he and the president have not discussed the subject of pardons. 
  
 “We have not and I continue to not have conversations with the president of the United States about pardons,” Jay Sekulow told ABC’s “This Week.” 
  
 Sekulow’s comments come one day after Trump mentioned the presidential power to pardon on Twitter. 
  
 ADVERTISEMENT 
  
 “While all agree the U. S. President has the complete power to pardon, why think of that when only crime so far is LEAKS against us.FAKE NEWS,” Trump said Saturday. 
  
 The president has previously dismissed the investigation into Russia’s election meddling and any potential ties between Trump campaign staff members and Russia associated as a “witch hunt.” 
  
 “Pardons have not been discussed. Pardons are not on the table,” Sekulow stressed during his television appearance on Sunday. 
  
 But Sekulow said a court would have to decide if the president could grant himself a pardon, noting the issue has never been adjudicated. 
  
 “We’re not researching the issue because the issue of pardons is not on the table. There’s nothing to pardon from,” Sekulow said. ||||| Tweet with a location

Both enjoy stirring the pot and shifting political loyalties. (Both had high praise for Hillary.) They savor counterpunching, especially in donnybrooks with CNN. Trump was taken with Scaramucci’s win in getting CNN to retract a story linking him to a Russian investment fund supposedly under Senate investigation, a debacle that ended in three reporters losing their jobs. 
  
 The Mogul and the Mooch have the same fluid relationship with the truth and the same definition of loyalty. 
  
 Donald Trump made it clear in an interview with Michael Schmidt, Maggie Haberman and Peter Baker in The Times on Wednesday that he was hurt that Jeff Sessions essentially put the Constitution over him, calling his attorney general’s decision to recuse himself on the Russia investigation “very unfair to the president.” 
  
 And Politico reported about Scaramucci: “A few years ago, while interviewing PR firms, he was blunt about what he was looking for, according to one person present for the meeting. During the 90-minute meeting, Scaramucci told this person: ‘I need someone who’s prepared to go to the mat and lie for me.’” 
  
 Sean Spicer had the impossible task of defending a president who didn’t believe in telling the truth to a press fixated on the president’s lying. He was impersonated by a woman on “Saturday Night Live” and put up with Steve Bannon calling him fat. He made up a bunch of nonsense about crowd sizes to please a boss who tallies his own personal value by crowd sizes. ||||| Newly appointed White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci acknowledged Saturday that he was deleting old tweets criticizing President Trump. 
  
 "Full transparency: I'm deleting old tweets. Past views evolved & shouldn't be a distraction. I serve @POTUS agenda & that's all that matters," he wrote on Twitter.

 Scaramucci's comments in 2015 referring to Trump as a "hack" politician also garnered attention after he was appointed to a senior post in the Trump White House. 
  
 He said during a White House press briefing Friday that Trump "brings it up every 15 seconds." 
  
 "One of the biggest mistakes I made, because I was an inexperienced person in the world of politics. I was supporting another candidate. I should have never said that about him," he said. 
  
 "So Mr. President, if you’re listening, I personally apologize for the 50th time for saying that." 
  
 The new communications director's appointment came as Sean Spicer resigned as White House press secretary on the day after Trump's six-month mark in office. ||||| Washington (CNN) US President Donald Trump remains unconvinced that Russia attempted to influence the 2016 election, his new White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci said on Sunday. 
  
 "He basically said to me, 'Hey you know, this is, maybe they did it, maybe they didn't do it,'" Scaramucci said of a recent conversation he'd had with the President about alleged Russian interference. 
  
 Prior to Trump's inauguration, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence released an unclassified report showing the CIA, FBI and National Security Agency all concluded the Russian government attempted to influence the election to hurt Hillary Clinton and help Trump. 
  
 Scaramucci, speaking on CNN's "State of the Union," suggested Trump does not yet accept the conclusion of the intelligence community and questioned the media's pursuit of the story, saying it tarnished Trump's victory in November. 
  
 "The mainstream media position on this, that they interfered in the election," Scaramucci said. "It actually in his mind, what are you guys suggesting? You're going to delegitimize his victory?" 
  
 Scaramucci said he intended to review the intelligence community's evidence once he had his security clearance and pledged to give Trump his personal thoughts on the conclusions. He said Trump would make up his own mind in time and that if Trump believed Russia was responsible for the 2016 efforts and a threat to future elections, he would act. 
  
 "A person that's going to be super, super tough on Russia is President Donald J. Trump," Scaramucci said. 
  
 Trump has offered varied responses on Russian efforts to influence the election over the past few months. Speaking ahead of his first face-to-face meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in early July, Trump said, "It was Russia, and I think it was probably others also." He also cast doubt on the strength of the intelligence community's conclusions, citing the erroneous assessment that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. 
  
 On Sunday, Trump posted a tweet that called the Russia probe a "witch hunt," saying Democrats were using the Russian hacking allegations as an "excuse for a lost election." 
  
 "As the phony Russian Witch Hunt continues, two groups are laughing at this excuse for a lost election taking hold, Democrats and Russians!" he wrote. 
  
 In a separate interview earlier on CNN's "State of the Union," Democratic Sen. Al Franken appeared at a loss, responding, "What can you say? It's just bizarre." 
  
 'Mr. President, I apologize' 
  
 Prior to becoming a Trump supporter, Scaramucci had backed Scott Walker and criticized Trump on several occasions. He wrote a scathing piece last year arguing against what he called "unbridled demagoguery" taking over the GOP. Asked about his shift of position, Scaramucci said both he and Trump didn't care, and addressed the President directly. 
  
 "If I said some things about him when I was working from another candidate, Mr. Trump, Mr. President, I apologize for that," Scaramucci said. 
  
 He dismissed the scrutiny around his past comments as part of an unfair political purity test, and said it was totally untrue that he was suppressing his own beliefs to get closer to the power and prestige of the White House. 
  
 And now that he is in his new job, Scaramucci said it was time for things to change in the White House communications shop. 
  
 "There's obviously a communications problem," Scaramucci said. 
  
 For one thing, he said in his own opinion -- which he said was not the final decision -- the White House should agree to put press briefings on camera again. For another, he said he would address leaks to the press from within the White House on Monday. 
  
 He said he would tell the staff, "If we don't stop the leaks, I'm going to stop you." 
  
 Executive power 
  
 Fresh on the job, Scaramucci found himself talking about one of the President's tweets. 
  
 Following a story in The Washington Post that stated Trump and his legal team were exploring the mechanics of the President's pardoning authority, including whether he could pardon himself, Trump tweeted, "While all agree the U. S. President has the complete power to pardon, why think of that when only crime so far is LEAKS against us. FAKE NEWS."

 Scaramucci said that despite the report and the tweets, Trump was not actually considering pardoning anyone, including himself. 
  
 "The President is thinking about pardoning nobody," Scaramucci said. "The President is not going to have to pardon anybody because the Russian thing is a nonsensical thing." 
  
 Russia sanctions 
  
 As for a bill that would increase sanctions on Russia and give Congress a check on the administration's authority to offer Russia sanctions relief, Scaramucci said it was still up in the air whether Trump would sign it, should it pass. 
  
 "You've got to ask President Trump that," Scaramucci said. |||||

SOLUTION: New White House communications chief Anthony Scaramucci captured most of the headlines from the Sunday talk shows. Among other things, he rejected the idea that President Trump is considering pardons and defended his own move to delete old tweets in which he was critical of Trump. Details: Pardons: "The president is thinking about pardoning nobody," he said on CNN, adding that Trump "is not going to have to pardon anybody because the Russian thing is a nonsensical thing." (Trump tweeted about the power of presidential pardons on Saturday.) Pardons, take II: Trump attorney Jay Sekulow also dismissed the idea of pardon discussions, per the Hill. “We have not and I continue to not have conversations with the president of the United States about pardons,” he said on ABC's This Week. Not convinced: Scaramucci said Trump is still not convinced Russia interfered in the election. "He basically said to me, 'Hey you know, this is, maybe they did it, maybe they didn't do it.'" He also said he was speaking with somebody recently who asserted that if the Russians did indeed meddle, they would leave behind no evidence of it. Upon questioning, he told Jake Tapper the person who said that was, in fact, Trump, per Politico. Deleting tweets: Earlier over the weekend, Scaramucci deleted old tweets critical of Trump, explaining that "past views evolved & shouldn't be a distraction." The Hill notes that Scaramucci also publicly apologized to Trump on Friday. Moving on: "If I said some things about [Trump] when I was working for another candidate, Mr. Trump, Mr. President, I apologize for that. Can we move on off of that?" he said Sunday. Old column: One piece of criticism gaining attention is a 2016 column Scaramucci wrote for Fox Business in which he warned about "unbridled demagoguery" taking over the GOP. He did not, however, mention Trump by name in the column. Maureen Dowd: In her New York Times column, Dowd describes Scaramucci as a "wealthy mini-me Manhattan bro" who has much in common with Trump, including a big ego. But she says the hire won't solve the president's big problem, that being the "existential threat" posed by special investigator Robert Mueller. Trump, she writes, doesn't get that Mueller is not some "contractor" he can bully and intimidate.

PROBLEM: PARK COUNTY, Colo. - Three Park County sheriff's deputies were shot, one was killed, while serving a high-risk eviction notice to a Bailey man who had a contentious relationship with law enforcement. 
  
 “It is a dark day," said Susan Medina, spokeswoman for the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, who has taken the lead in the shooting investigation. 
  
 The man at the home at 36 Iris Drive, Martin Wirth, was armed with a rifle and opened fire on the deputies, according to Medina. 
  
 Park County Sheriff Fred Wegener had just arrived on scene just after 9:48 a.m. Wednesday when patrol officers were about to make contact with Wirth, the sheriff's office said. 
  
 "Wirth came out on his deck, paused and then went back inside. Officers quickly followed Wirth inside the residence. As they entered, Wirth fired upon them. Officers returned fire," Undersheriff Monte Gore explained in a news release. "Wirth was shot and killed by deputies returning fire." 
  
 The deputy who was shot and died at the scene was a 13-year veteran of the Park County Sheriff's Office. He was identified Wednesday afternoon as Nate Carrigan, who has coached football and baseball at Platte Canyon High School. 
  
 Master Patrol Deputy Kolby Martin, who has 11 years with Park County, was shot multiple times in the lower extremities, and Capt. Mark Hancock, who has 21 years with Park County, was grazed in the ear, the sheriff's office said. 
  
 Martin was airlifted to Saint Anthony’s Hospital in Denver with life-threatening injuries and Hancock was also transported by ambulance to Saint Antony’s. Martin remains in critical condition and Hancock has been released, Medina said in an afternoon news conference. 
  
 -- Suspect Martin Wirth known to authorities -- 
  
 Wirth's body remained outside the home, in the snow, hours after the shootout, as investigators combed through the crime scene. (See photo below.) 
  
 The CBI said it will be at the crime scene all evening, conducting interviews and canvassing the neighborhood. 
  
 Wirth had previously run for office and had been fighting foreclosure for years. He recently posted on Facebook that the cops wanted him dead. 
  
 When the deputies went to the home in the Friendship Ranch subdivision, they were prepared for the eviction to be contentious, and there were eight deputies on hand, Medina said. 
  
 The person in the home was known to authorities, and "they had background information on the suspect in this case," Medina said, but didn’t elaborate. 
  
 The bomb squad. the SWAT team and the ATF, were called to the shooting scene as a precaution but they were sent home later in the day. 
  
 During the initial response to the shootout, the Park County Sheriff's Office asked for help for all nearby law enforcement agencies. More than 100 law enforcement responded. 
  
 "I contacted the Colorado Bureau of Investigation and requested that they take the lead in this ongoing investigation," Gore said. "The response from our brother and sister Law Enforcement agencies, and our community, is truly heartwarming and overwhelming. We do not require additional resources at this time." 
  
 -- Community asked to turn on lights -- 
  
 AIRTRACKER7 flew over the scene and showed a road block at Iris and Pine drives, near the Deer Creek Christian Camp. 
  
 Platte Canyon and Fitzsimmons Middle School were placed on lockdown, but that lockdown has been lifted. Deer Creek Elementary School remained on lockout for the day. 
  
 Park County said it will hold a vigil Wednesday night at Platte Canyon Community Church at 6 p.m. for the Park County deputies. The county also asked residents to turn on their porch lights Wednesday night for Corporal Nate Carrigan. 
  
 Community has dealt with tragedy 
  
 Park County has dealt with tragedy before. In September 2006, a gunman terrorized students and staff at Platte Canyon High School in Bailey. 
  
 The suspect took six girls hostage. He killed one of the hostages before turning the gun on himself. 
  
 That hostage, 16-year-old Emily Keyes, was able to send a text to her parents before she died. It said, "I love U guys." 
  
 Park County 
  
 Many people in the Denver metro area have driven through Park County on Highway 285. Park County includes the towns of Bailey and Fairplay. 
  
 Park County covers over 2,200 square miles and is larger than the state of Delaware. It stretches just over 50 miles from north to south and about 40 miles from east to west. The homes in Park County are on open land and are far apart from one another. 
  
 Second officer involved shooting in a week 
  
 This is the second officer-involved shooting Denver7 has covered in three days. On Monday, a Denver police officer was shot by a burglary suspect, who was later shot and killed by officers following a brief chase. 
  
 There have been 14 officers shot in Colorado in the last 3 months. Read more.

 BAILEY — A political activist opened fire on Park County sheriff's deputies trying to evict him from his mountain home Wednesday, killing one deputy and wounding two others. The gunman also died. 
  
 The shooting happened around 9:30 a.m. at the secluded Friendship Ranch subdivision, said Susan Medina, a Colorado Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman. 
  
 "It is a dark day," Medina said. 
  
 The deputy who died, Cpl. Nate Carrigan, was a 13-year veteran of the Park County Sheriff's Office and a beloved high school baseball and football coach.

 Master Patrol Deputy Kolby Martin, an 11-year veteran of the office, was shot multiple times in the lower extremities and was in critical condition at St. Anthony Hospital in Lakewood. 
  
 Capt. Mark Hancock, a 21-year veteran of the office, was shot in the ear but was treated and released.

 Eight members of the sheriff's office — including Sheriff Fred Wegener — converged on the snow-covered, three-acre property on Iris Drive Wednesday morning for what they termed "a high-risk writ of restitution."

 They were seeking to evict Martin Wirth, a 58-year-old Occupy Denver activist and former Green Party candidate for state Senate who had complained previously about law enforcement harassment. 
  
 Property records show Wirth defaulted on the property in 2013 and has been battling foreclosure and eviction. 
  
 "Wirth came out on his deck paused and then went back inside," the sheriff's office said in a statement. "Officers quickly followed Wirth inside the residence. As they entered Wirth fired upon them. Officers returned fire." 
  
 Wirth was armed with a rifle, the sheriff's office said. 
  
 Neighbors in the heavily wooded, quiet subdivision said they heard a volley of quick shots. 
  
 Susana Gibson's dogs were barking, and then she heard shots. 
  
 "It was, 'Pop! Pop! Pop!'" she said. "And then a few minutes later I heard, 'Boom! Boom!'" 
  
 READ: Martin Wirth was an Occupy Denver activist 
  
 In a Facebook posting in January, Wirth said he had clashed with police before and "one cop repeatedly punched my face and knocked out two of my teeth after others piled on. This was after aiming loaded pistols while screaming threats at me." 
  
 Wirth also said: "Because I ran for State Senate, I am a high value target ... they want me dead." 
  
 A website for the Colorado Foreclosure Resistance Coalition had posted a notice in 2014 that Wirth faced eviction and urged people to go to the home to support him. 
  
 "We are now calling for a non-violent eviction resistance at Martin's," said a statement on the group's website. "(Wirth) has been an invaluable part of Occupy Denver from the very early days, he has sheltered people on several occasions as well as hosting the Occupy retreat. His property is an amazing mountain escape with lots of room for tents and camping." 
  
 Later, Occupy Denver revoked its support for Wirth, saying in a Facebook posting that it "cannot in good conscience as an organization support the tactics he is proposing." 
  
 Occupy Denver posted a Facebook statement Wednesday that said: "We are sorry to share that Martin Wirth, so long active working to end fraudulent foreclosures and evictions, is reported to have died in a shootout with police this morning in Bailey Colorado. Martin recently shared with friends that he was experiencing harassment by the police." 
  
 Wirth had several run-ins with the law. In 1994 he was arrested in the shooting death of another man after becoming upset during a chess game. He was later acquitted. 
  
 Terry Rogers, Wirth's neighbor and a pastor in Bailey, said people knew Wirth as having strong anti-government views. He heard about Wirth's involvement in groups that supported that cause. 
  
 Sheriff's deputies would periodically be at Wirth's house, Rogers said, and one time he fought with the county about code violations for the number of animals he had on his property. 
  
 "He was kind of a loner — a recluse," Rogers said. 
  
 Rogers said he interacted only occasionally with Wirth, like once when Wirth's goats got loose. 
  
 Federal, state and law enforcement officials from other counties came to Bailey to assist in the investigation. Officers in body armor and carrying long guns were behind police tape near the shooting scene. 
  
 "Right now what we can do as a community is come together," Medina said 
  
 Residents brought food and water to law enforcement officers at the scene. 
  
 At about 4 p.m., an ambulance escorted by several sheriff's vehicles left Bailey and headed toward Jefferson. 
  
 Jeff Scott owns the Crow Hill Cafe in Bailey and lives in Friendship Ranch. The neighborhood is typically quiet, he said. 
  
 "I usually hear horses making noise and livestock," Scott said. "Certainly not gunshots other than people doing target practice." 
  
 At about 6 p.m., people began congregating at the Platte Canyon Community Church in Bailey for a vigil. 
  
 "When you're from a small mountain community, you care," Chris Whetzel said, tears running down his face, before walking into the chapel. "When you live in the mountains, you have to take care of each other." 
  
 Inside the small church, community members — some of them in high school letter jackets and others in cowboy hats — packed in and gathered in hushed circles to mourn and remember. There was no planned service, but rather just a need to be with each other. 
  
 Mourners hugged and whispered words of encouragement. 
  
 "We'll be here as long as we need to be," Pastor Rogers told the group.

 Staff researcher Vickie Makings contributed to this report. ||||| BAILEY, Colo. (AP) — A shooting killed a sheriff's deputy and a suspect in a Colorado mountain community Wednesday and left two other deputies wounded, authorities said. 
  
 The shooting happened in the town of Bailey, about 45 miles southwest of Denver in Park County, said Jacki Kelley, spokeswoman of the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office. 
  
 Park County is a smaller, largely rural county and sometimes gets assistance from larger outside agencies. Neither the circumstances of the shooting nor the conditions of the wounded deputies were immediately clear. 
  
 The picturesque town is where a gunman took several girls hostage in a high school classroom a decade ago, killing one of them before himself. Duane Morrison, a 53-year-old drifter, held the girls for nearly four hours and sexually assaulted them in September 2006. 
  
 He fatally shot 16-year-old Emily Keyes and then killed himself as SWAT team members stormed the classroom at Platte Canyon High School. |||||

One sheriff's deputy was killed and two others were injured during a shooting in the "picturesque town" of Bailey, Colorado, on Wednesday morning, the AP reports. The suspect was also killed by deputies returning fire, the Denver Channel reports. One of the deputies who was shot has life-threatening injuries, according to the Denver Post. 9News identified the deceased deputy as Nate Carrigan, who had been with the Park County Sheriff's Office for 12 years. A Colorado Bureau of Investigation spokesperson says the resident of the home, Martin Wirth, was armed with a rifle and attacked the deputies. The Post says Wirth was an Occupy Denver activist who faced foreclosure after defaulting on the house in 2013, and notes that the Colorado Foreclosure Resistance Coalition had called for a "non-violent eviction resistance" for Wirth, who "has been an invaluable part of Occupy Denver from the very early days." Wirth also ran for Colorado senate in 2014—the same year Fannie Mae took control of his home—as a member of the Green Party, losing to a Republican incumbent.
