AURORA, Colo. — Two men were wounded in a shooting in Aurora early Sunday morning. Police have detained a man in connection with the shooting.

The incident was first reported around 4:30 a.m. in the area of E.16th Avenue and Nome Street in Aurora.

Police received several reports of shots fired, according to Aurora police spokesperson Sydney Edwards.

When officers arrived on scene, they found two men with gunshot wounds; one of them had life-threatening injuries, said Edwards. A third man was transported from the scene with a broken ankle.

"Officers have detained one adult male in connection to this incident. Their part in the shooting is unclear at this time," Edwards wrote in a press release.

Investigators were looking into what led up to the shooting.

Several streets around the scene were closed.

This is the second double shooting in Aurora this weekend.

An exchange of gunfire during a large gathering of people in the 800 block of S. Naples Way left two teens wounded early Saturday morning. One person was arrested.
