Police Investigate Shots Fired At Police Protest At State Capitol
Police in Denver rushed to the state Capitol on Thursday evening on reports of shots fired during a police accountability protest that turned violent. The protest stretched for more than three hours as crowds also continued to block traffic not just around downtown Denver but also on I-25 and then returned to the state Capitol where protesters smashed the windows of a Colorado State Patrol cruiser.
Witnesses claim six or seven shots were fired at about 5:30 p.m., shortly after most of the demonstrators had left the area to protest in the streets of downtown Denver. Denver police confirmed the report and said there are no reports of any injuries.
