   DENVER -- A man leaving the scene of a car wreck Tuesday shot his way   
   into the Colorado Supreme Court building and inflicted “extensive   
   damage” to the building before being arrested by police, authorities   
   said, adding the incident seems unrelated to the court's recent ruling   
   banning former President Donald Trump from the ballot.   
      
   Colorado's justices have received threats ever since they ruled 4-3 last   
   month that a rarely used constitutional provision barring from office   
   those who “engaged in insurrection” applies to Trump. Authorities,   
   however, said Tuesday's incident appears unrelated to that case. Trump   
   is expected to appeal that ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court later   
   Tuesday.   
      
   “The CSP and DPD are treating this incident seriously, but at this time,   
   it is believed that this is not associated with previous threats to the   
   Colorado Supreme Court Justices,” the Colorado State Patrol said in a   
   statement said, using the acronyms for the state patrol and Denver   
   Police Department.   
      
   The car wreck occurred just by the building in downtown Denver at 1:15   
   a.m., after which a man identified by police as Brandon Olsen, 44,   
   pointed a handgun at the driver of the other car, police records show.   
   Olsen then shot his way through a window at the Ralph Carr Colorado   
   Justice Center, which houses the state's Supreme Court and several other   
   courtrooms and administrative offices, shortly thereafter and entered,   
   authorities said.   
      
   Olsen, who is scheduled to appear in court Wednesday, had no attorney   
   listed in court documents yet.   
      
   Police said Olsen held up an unarmed security guard and got a key that   
   let him into the rest of the building. He made his way to the seventh   
   floor, where he fired further shots and apparently set a fire,   
   triggering the fire extinguishers, according to the Denver Police   
   affidavit signed in support of his arrest.   
      
   At 3 a.m., Olsen called 911 and voluntarily surrendered to police, the   
   document says. Authorities say no one in the building was injured.   
      
   Several hours after the crash, a large shattered window could be seen on   
   the ground floor of the building, with glass spilled out on the sidewalk   
   along a busy street downtown. A state patrol trooper guarded it.   
      
   The state patrol is responsible for security at the building and other   
   neighboring state buildings like the Capitol. The patrol has said it has   
   increased security for the Supreme Court justices since their ruling but   
   declined to detail how. It said its security officers are unarmed but   
   can call armed state patrol officers stationed nearby for help.   
      
   “They work in tandem,” state patrol spokesperson Trooper Gabriel Moltrer   
   said. ___   
      
   This story has been corrected to show that Olsen is 44, not 43.
