I'm seeing different accounts of what appears to be the same downtown shooting.
Says Denver Post: At 1 a.m., a man fired from a pickup truck into an SUV, apparently causing the SUV to crash into another vehicle at West 11th Avenue and Kalamath. Police are looking for a man who "was wearing a black beanie hat" and was driving an older white Chevy pickup.
Says KDVR: At 1 a.m., a person was shot at 14th and Blake streets. Their friends reportedly tried to transport them in a Chevrolet Tahoe to the hospital, but they ran a red light at West 11th Avenue and Kalamath (!) where they were T-boned by a smaller SUV.
Can anyone clear this up for me?
