Who killed the aggressive elk that was pestering people in the Mapleton Hill area of Boulder?
So far, no one’s ‘fessing up to taking down the elk.
We imagine the shooter will be identified soon enough.
If a law enforcement officer’s finger was on the trigger, as people who live in the neighborhood claim, then it’s troubling that cops can find no record of the incident.
You’d hope they’d keep track of when they shoot service weapons in populated residential areas, or anywhere for that matter.
