DENVER — Denver police are investigating a shooting that happened after the Nuggets championship parade had moved through the downtown area on Thursday.
The Denver Police Department tweeted about the shooting at 1:14 p.m., well after the parade had wrapped up. The gunfire rang out around 17th Street and Curtis Street.
During a press conference, Denver Police Chief Ron Thomas said a man began firing a weapon, striking two people. Chief Thomas said it appeared to be a targeted incident and not connected to the Nuggets celebration.
"Those two males were located by responding officers and transported by ambulance here to Denver Health where they are in serious condition but also receiving treatment," said Chief Thomas.
There were no other reported injuries.
