I can only hope that it was a training... With a helicopter...

Bad news Monty, it was not training,

Some information, I got from my friend, who was Mnt biking in the park,

There was group climbing in the park, they were leading a trad route, route?, formation? the leader fell, piece pulled, (cam) he lost consciousness, and broke his arm, was Helicoptered out, they think he will recover,

Always a bummer, too hear about climber getting hurt,
recover soon,

Update, they where climbing at Elk Creek Spires, on the North side, far left, most likely a unclimbed route, unnamed formation,
