The Denver District Attorney’s Office on Tuesday charged the off-duty FBI agent in connection with the discharge of his weapon while doing a back flip on the dance floor at a Denver nightclub on June 2. A customer suffered a serious, but non-life threatening gunshot injury in the lower leg.
Chase Bishop, 29, is charged with one count of assault in the second degree. He turned himself in to Denver Police on Tuesday.
Additional charges may be filed based on the results of a pending blood alcohol content (BAC) analysis.
“We are filing this charge now rather than waiting until the BAC report is received, which we understand could take another week, because sufficient evidence has been presented to file it,” District Attorney Beth McCann said in a statement “If an additional charge needs to be filed after further evidence is received, we can file those charges then.”
Bishop is scheduled to make an appearance in court on Wednesday.
