DENVER (AP) — A 15-year-old girl has been arrested in the shooting death of a Colorado man whose body was found after he had not been heard from for several days, police said Wednesday. Officers sent to check on Joseph Johnston on Tuesday found his body at his home in Brighton, about 22 miles (35 kilometers) northeast of Denver, police said. The girl was identified as a suspect and arrested later in the day for investigation of murder as well as stealing Johnson's vehicle, police said. Meanwhile, prosecutors in Denver announced Wednesday that they have charged a 15-year-old boy with attempted murder for allegedly shooting at a police officer and will ask a judge to allow him to be prosecuted as an adult.
