Denver officers arrested two men Monday night, one of whom was shot and injured while fleeing police, during a shots-fired investigation in the city’s West Colfax neighborhood.
Officers responded to reports of shots fired near Lowell Boulevard and West 13th Avenue at about 10:40 p.m. Monday, Denver police chief Ron Thomas said in a news briefing.
He said they found multiple shell casings and began to search the area for suspects. Officers headed east into Paco Sanchez Park and, about an hour after the first shots were fired, found a group of four men.
Thomas said officers asked the men to stop, but the group of four began to run away.
One man dropped a gun and a second man pulled one out, Thomas said. That’s when an officer fired “a number of shots,” hitting the man who allegedly pulled out a gun.
Thomas said those two men were taken into custody, but investigators are still searching for the other two.
