Police Line Do Not Cross

The Denver Police Department is investigating after three shootings occurred in the city overnight, resulting in at least one death.

The first shooting happened late Sunday night in the 800 block of North Federal Boulevard, blocks from Eagleton Elementary School.

Just before midnight, police announced that a man had been shot and taken to a hospital. The victim suffered serious injuries but is expected to survive, police said.

No suspects are in custody and no suspect information is available.

The next shooting happened about 3 a.m. Monday in the 800 block of South Knox Court, in a neighborhood next to Castro Elementary School.

The victim, a boy, took himself to a hospital with serious injuries. His condition is unknown, police said.

Police said they didn’t learn the location of the shooting until several hours after it happened, making the investigation difficult. No suspect information is available.

The final shooting was announced just before 4 a.m., occurring in the 1000 block of South Parker Road, near Frances Weisbart Jacobs Park.

The unidentified victim was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. The victim’s identity and cause of death will be released by the Office of the Medical Examiner after their family has been notified.
