Ten People Shot in Denver After Nuggets Win NBA Championship

Ten people were wounded in a shooting in downtown Denver, Colorado, on Tuesday night, hours after the city’s NBA team won the championship, police said.

The shooting happened around 11:30 p.m. local time in a crowded area near the city’s Civic Center, where thousands of people had gathered to celebrate the Nuggets’ victory over the Golden State Warriors.

Police said the shooting appeared to be a random act of violence. They said no arrests had been made and that they were still searching for the shooter.

The victims were taken to local hospitals, where they were treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

The shooting cast a pall over the city’s celebrations. The Nuggets’ victory had been a source of great joy for the city, and the shooting served as a reminder of the city’s ongoing struggle with gun violence.

In a statement, Denver Mayor Michael Hancock condemned the shooting and called for an end to gun violence.

“This is a senseless act of violence that has no place in our city,” Hancock said. “We will not tolerate this kind of behavior. We will find the person responsible and bring them to justice.”

The shooting is the latest in a series of gun violence incidents in Denver. In recent months, the city has seen a surge in shootings, including a mass shooting at a Walmart in January that left 10 people dead.

The city’s police department has been under fire for its handling of gun violence. In March, the department’s chief of police resigned amid criticism of his handling of the Walmart shooting.

The shooting in downtown Denver is a reminder of the city’s ongoing struggle with gun violence. It is also a reminder of the need for more effective gun control measures.
