A woman and two boys were shot on Thanksgiving afternoon as they sat inside a car in the parking lot of Manual High School in Denver, police say. One of the boys is in critical condition, said John White, Denver police spokesman. The three were taken to a hospital after the 12:06 p.m. Shooting in the 1700 block of East 28th Avenue, he said.
Police are looking for two or three suspects. One was wearing a green and white shirt. A second suspect was wearing a white hoodie.
There was no description of a third suspect, White said. “Our gang unit will be investigating at this point. Their task is to find out what caused this,” he said. But White added that it’s not known whether gang members were involved.
The three victims were sitting in a white sedan when the suspects approached the car on foot. The suspects began firing shots into the car, he said. The suspects then ran away from the school. The boy who is in critical condition was struck multiple times, White said.
One of the other two victims was shot in the arm and the other in the leg. Their identities have not been released.
“Right now we believe this is an isolated incident between the suspects and our victims,” White said during a news conference outside the school. Ipl cricket game download for pc windows 8. He emphasized later Thursday that police do not believe there is an ongoing threat to the community. White said it is common that victims do not provide detailed descriptions of the suspects who shot them, he said. “It is a very traumatic situation for them, and sometimes it is difficult for them to give a good description,” White said. He said police have not yet determined the relationship between the victims who were in the car. “It’s feasible to believe — because they were sitting together in the car — that they are friends or perhaps relatives,” White said. White would not say how many shots were fired, but investigators placed at least 15 blue evidence markers in the parking lot after the shooting.
