Denver Shooting Injures Three People and a Dog
Monday 22nd April 2013 | Osh
Following the Boston bombings and the Texas factory explosion, unrest continues in the United States as a shooting broke out in Denver, injuring three people as well as a dog.
The shooting, which happened during a 4/20 celebration, started in the middle of a performance by rapper Lil’ Flip. The first shot was fired while firecrackers were being set off, injuring a man and his dog. Subsequent shots hit a woman, with a third person being grazed by a bullet.
Police are currently looking for one or two suspects, adding that they had no motive for the gunfire. A smaller Sunday event scheduled at the same place was cancelled as a result of the shooting.
420 is commonly referred to as a code for marijuana, with drug users having marked the date 4/20 as a day to hold group smoke-outs.
