DENVER — Police in Denver are investigating a shooting that left two people dead and wounded five others at a motorcycle club in the city's Park Hill neighborhood early Sunday morning.
It happened around 3 a.m. Sunday at the private after-hours club located in the 5500 block of East 33rd Ave. Police tape lined off the parking lot of the Park Hill Center which appeared to be the focus of the investigation.
DPD said on social media the victims’ injuries were unknown. However, during an early-morning press conference, Lt. Matt Clark with Denver police said one man was pronounced deceased while six others were transported to area hospitals "in varying degrees of condition."
Police later announced Sunday that a second person — an adult male — was pronounced deceased. Six of the seven victims are men, police said. A woman is among the five wounded.
Clark said that an apparent confrontation inside the motorcycle club — Hell's Lovers Motorcycle Club — led to the shooting that occurred both inside and outside the building with multiple guns involved.
"We do have evidence of multiple guns being discharged during this incident," he said. "And anytime we look at these with multiple victims, multiple guns being fired, we consider the possibility that people who may have been hit by gunfire also had a gun and discharged one."
No arrests were announced but Denver7 crews witnessed heavily-armed SWAT officers lead five men out of the club, three of them were placed in handcuffs.
Clark said they are seeking additional witnesses in the shooting to develop suspect information and to determine exactly what happened.
Anyone with information is asked to call Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-713-9867.
East 33rd Avenue was closed down between Holly and Hudson Streets as the investigation continued.
