This photo provided by the Denver Police Department shows Matthew Dolloff. Police identified on Sunday, Oct. 11, 2020, a 30-year-old man as the suspect in a fatal shooting that took place in downtown Denver during dueling protests. Matthew Dolloff, a private security guard working for local television station KUSA TV, was being held for investigation of first degree murder in connection with Saturday afternoon's shooting, Denver police said in a social media post.
The security guard, Matthew Dolloff, is jailed for investigation of first-degree murder following Saturday afternoon’s shooting as protesters left a park at the end of competing left- and right-wing demonstrations. The victim was identified by authorities late Monday as Lee Keltner, 49. His son told The Denver Post that he was a U.S. Navy veteran who operated a hat-making business in the Denver area.
KUSA-TV said Sunday that it has hired private security guards for months to accompany its journalists at protests and that Dolloff was hired through the Pinkerton security company. “It’s very unfortunate because journalists, while they’re not around to make friends, they are around to serve their communities by seeking and reporting the truth,” he said.
Guards must undergo 16 hours of training and FBI background checks to get licenses and complete eight hours of additional training annually to renew the licenses, said Eric Escudero, a spokesman for the city’s Excise and Licenses Department. Guards carrying firearms must also be screened by police, he said.
I honestly have no problem with what this guy did.
Apparently you didn’t watch the video, see the photos or do any research but I would expect no more anyway.
Bull crap
Problem he is going to have is that the conservative demonstrations have been overwhelmingly peaceful, it will be hard to argue that he felt in fear for his life. The Kyle Rittenhouse situation was different, any reasonable person knows that crowd was going to beat him senseless.
So he was justified in killing of protester because of Mace, really
Lets take a wild guess, he THOUGHT he was REACHING for a gun and felt threatened
🖕🖕
He should be charged or we boycotting 7NY 7 Politics
Protestor. Protestor black or white. He is using the police getaway ticket,'I FEARED for my life.' Everybody pulling guns because they are getting away with it
Why that protesters come to him and he fears ? Why the tv news has to hire a guard ? Because most American has gun and recently protest getting mess , such as stolen etc. But still feel sorry for that protester.
Problem is, you can’t start a confrontation with a deadly weapon, then claim self defense when the other person tries to defend themselves with a non-deadly weapon. Even if the other person pulled out a gun, he still could not claim self defense if he initiated it. This guys done
Boloney. Watch the video.
That’s a lie and you know it. This guy was antifa and shot a conservative. The end.
Good try. Saw the pictures and video. The gun was drawn and he moved toward the victim before the victim grabbed the can of mace. And since mace is not a deadly weapon you lose dude.
What exactly happened? Did he mace him or reschedule to his shirt?
If Kyle Rittenhouse can kill because of a skateboard then...
He looks a lil methy
Bullshit. The shooter is anti police and antifa supporter
How are they gonna say he was grabbing for a gun that was concealed and that he didn't know was there?
And he wasn't actually a security guard. He had no license to work security. It was all caught on film and what the lawyer says didn't actually happen.
Cmon ABC, you're better than cnn ...... Right?
What was in his pocket? You can’t just shoot someone for reaching into their pocket!
Really?
He’s not even a guard. Wtf
He’s Fuc*ed.
BS
Quit spreading the lie that he’s a security guard he wasn’t but that’s all ABC and the rest of the lying media can do is just lie
Sounds a lot like Rittenhouse to me.
Bull shit.
All the photos have been released, and none show Lee reaching into his shirt. Nice try.
I would've fired off as well, let this man go he did nothing wrong, this is what happens when you think you can just go around like you own everything! Popped his A$$😂😂
If he's not licensed, then he isn't a security guard.
I love how ABC says “after he reached into his shirt” as if the security guard was an officer giving a command or playing him under arrest. “After he reached into his shirt” my assssssd
Nothing about this dudes tattoo?
Well the video doesn't lie. It's clearly murder and not self defense. Also he wasn't a real security guard.
And just like that, abcnews is an accessory to homicide denvershooting
Everyone in this thread has missed the lesson from this incident: Can we just step back and look at ourselves as a society and see that there are outside powers at work that are driving us to these extremes? Everyone needs to put down the violence and pick up the peace now ✌️
Will be termed ting to know the facts.
He was slapped by the perpetrator and then maced in the face. Seems like self defense. Stand your ground law.
Not a licensed security guard and the video does not show the victim reaching.
Americans protect themselves well
Uh saw the tape
Bullshit dudes hands are up with mace spraying you will go to prison
He was justified to defend himself.
Let me get this straight. A 17-yr old is driven 20 miles across state lines to 'protect' Kenosha from antifa, shoots 3 people, kills 2, eyewitnesses say not in self defense, lauded by cops & darling of the right. This guy is horse manure b/c he nailed a boogaloo.
The lawyer’s lying client needs to watch the video!
That is a lie
Not until you see the weapon, do you fire on someone.
Yeah well the video is pretty clear. The “guard” wasn’t registered as security either at the network so it’s false as well. The man inserts himself into a disagreement, gets phsyical, then without any cause fires a single shot into the other mans head. Exocution. Left = violence
Not licensed
Self defense
Gas chamber
You know this is BS. They had words, the security guard pulled his weapon, the victim sprayed him with pepper spray and he was shot. are liars and you are chumps if you believe them.
Eh....it was that “not a security guard” who reached into the dead guys shirt.
He was not a licensed security guard... stop giving him that title to push an agenda
Liars
Show me the exact point where the victim reached into the murderer’s shirt.
Emilio Estevez ?
No he had no security licenses, and you don’t shoot someone over pepper spray after attacking them first. ABC is rolling the agenda news today. This guy was a extremely far left activist. This guy will be Convicted of Murder where the writers and reporter don’t rule.
We've all seen the video. The gunman was the aggressor.
Interesting. Over the weekend, I saw a picture of this man being maced, but I didn’t read or see anything justifying a shooting. Also, this man wasn’t properly licensed to be a private security guard.
Wouldn’t call this a fair fight.
You left out the part that he was a Trump supporter that he shot and killed and you left out the video that is circulating of the incident where it shows the security guard murdered him
Nobody sees this. Nobody. He’s a murderer.
That is a lie! Post the pictures that I’m sure you have.
Lies, Lee's life matters. 9news and KyleClark have blood on their hands.
I saw the video. Bullshit.
The victim's family will end up owning this tv station once the dust has settled.
Your too late, plenty of video already out there for all to see!!!
So when a cop does this, no fear to the cops safety?
He going to jail for the rest of his life.
'Licensed' Security Guard? Or hired bodyguard from the street?
Why would the 'guard's family' need an attorney?
Yea right
How would this read if it was a police officer that shot and killed an unarmed protester. Let’s see what you all come up with.
Who reached into whose shirt, why are you playing pronoun games? There are photos of the 'security guard' reaching into the victims shirt. I've never seen any of the victim reaching into someone else's shirt.
The media protects it's assassins
AHHAHAHAHAHAHA 'feared for his safety' Eat my asshole
💠9news hires unlicensed armed security to attend protest with producer. 💠Security and/or producer insert themselves into a heated argument. 💠Security aggresses instead of retreating, and gets pushed away 💠Security shoots the non-threatening, retreating victim in head
Not at all what the video shows.
Eyewitness accounts and photos taken prove otherwise, also was not a licensed security guard.
For anyone who actually wants to see for themselves what really happened... L is more thorough at researching than most journalists.
Heck. Half of antifa would be dead if you used that argument.
Totally self defense the world seen it
And this...
LOL - A security guard that was NOT licensed, was there with a known BLM agitator, has numerous documented ties to Antifa/BLM, has made numerous vile & threatening comments about the right, initiated the altercation, shot first, etc. etc. He will be found guilty.
Maybe this will help clear things up for the perceptively challenged...
FakeNews I love this I'm using MSM to correct each other. This is a riot. Suspect in Denver shooting is not a licensed security guard, city says
Lawyer talk. Judge for yourself.
Call of Duty generation......smh
This is so obviously not what happened
I don’t think so
Here we go again!
BS! Gaslighting
Really
Total BS watch the up close video obviously murdered him
Trump’s America
Why are u incapable of honest reporting? This is bs there is video to the contrary
What color was the suspect? Say he was black then I will tell you he is lying !!
'security guard' Fake news
He was an assassin. 2nd degree murder.
hummmmm pepper spray vs a bullet Hummmmmmm
Why do television crews need security? Sounds like the television crews were too close to the action.
fails to note that according to reports, he was NOT licensed to be a security guard. Also, eye witness accounts tell a different story.
Given how crazy the Trump people are, and the guns they carry. This security officer does have a legitimate argument.
Well we will see how the evidence plays out, if true then so be it. If not he murdered a man.
Absolutely.
Trump’s America
