   Uber is responding after Denver police said an Uber driver shot and   
   killed his passenger Friday. Police said the driver, 29-year-old   
   Michael Hancock, shot his passenger numerous times. According to a   
   police statement, a detective "located 10 spent 40 caliber   
   cartridges," and the victim was "lying in the floorboard of the front   
   passenger seat."   
      
   Police said it appears Hancock got into a dispute with his passenger,   
   who has been identified as Kyun Kim.   
      
   "That individual, a male, was transported to the hospital where he was   
   later pronounced dead," said Sonny Jackson, a police spokesperson.   
      
   Hackcok had a semi-automatic weapon on him even though Uber's official   
   policy prohibits drivers and riders from carrying firearms of any kind   
   in a vehicle while using the app.   
      
   In a statement, Uber told CBS News: "We are deeply troubled by the   
   events in Denver today. Our thoughts are with the families of those   
   involved."   
      
   Uber has previously been criticized for not conducting thorough   
   background checks of its drivers. The Colorado Public Utilities   
   Commission fined Uber $8.9 million after regulators found 57 drivers   
   had felony convictions, major moving violations, and had suspended,   
   revoked or cancelled driver's licenses. Hancock, however, had no   
   previous criminal record.   
      
   The driver's father tells CBS News his son is a student who drove for   
   Uber for extra money. An Uber spokesperson confirms Hancock had been   
   driving for Uber for three years with no concerning feedback.
