LOVELAND, Colo. — A shooting that left two people in critical condition near an I-25 off-ramp in Loveland overnight may have been a targeted attack, according to Loveland Police Department investigators.
The crash was reported near the I-25 and Eisenhower Boulevard off-ramp shortly after midnight Monday. As officers responded to the scene, they contacted two people inside a vehicle at the scene who were found with gunshot wounds, according to a news release.
They were taken by first responders to a hospital for treatment where they remain in critical condition with life-threatening injuries, police said.
