Police have identified a suspect as UCHealth increases security around oxygen storage after the disruption, which hospital officials said did not injure any patients.
- Police have identified a suspect in the Sept 3 sabotage of the oxygen supply at UCHealth University hospital in Aurora, with law enforcement now working to make an arrest.
- Someone "intentionally disrupted" the oxygen supply at the UCHealth 831-bed hospital earlier that month, forcing staff to quickly pivot patients to backup sources without harm.
- Surveillance video captured an individual jumping the fence around oxygen tanks and leaving within two minutes, leading security to speculate they "must have known what they were doing."
- UCHealth spokesperson Dan Weaver confirmed the suspect is not a hospital employee and received no inside help, as Police continue working toward an arrest.
- The hospital has increased security around oxygen storage since the incident, though authorities have not disclosed a motive—a crime Weaver said carries "very serious" penalties.
