The latest about eight shocking shootings, including bystanders accidentally injured by Denver cops.
The violence continued the next day. At 2:37 a.m. on July 16, the DPD reported a shooting on the 1300 block of Xenia Street, in the East Colfax neighborhood. The female victim died of her injuries.
Less than an hour later came word of two additional shootings. The first, reported at 3:15 a.m. on July 16, occurred in the vicinity of Eighth Avenue and Broadway; one victim was located with what were described as unknown injuries. And at 3:23 a.m., the DPD shared information about a shooting on the 1000 block of East Colfax Avenue, in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. The victim was an adult male; no details about injuries was released.
The events that led to the most recent officer-involved shooting began around 1:30 a.m. on Sunday, July 17, when DPD officers responded to the area near 20th and Larimer streets after reports about a man with a handgun near what a release characterized as"the entertainment district out-crowd." The police say that 21-year-old Jordan Waddy pointed his gun at officers, who reacted by discharging their own weapons in his directions.
Waddy, who apparently didn't fire a shot of his own, was struck but is expected to recover; he's being held for investigation of felony menacing and possession of a weapon by a previous offender. In the meantime, though, five other people — three women and two men — were hurt. According to the DPD,"investigators are working to determine whether the injuries were a direct or indirect result of the officer-involved shooting .
