Police investigating 4 separate overnight shootings in Denver
DENVER (KDVR) — Police are investigating four separate shootings that occurred overnight in Denver, according to multiple posts on X from the Denver Police Department.
The first shooting took place on Saturday night, around 10:48 p.m. The incident occurred in the 4700 block of Airport Way. Police located one victim, who was taken to the hospital with unknown injuries. In an update on Sunday, police announced they arrested 36-year-old Davon Morgan on an investigation of first-degree assault.
Around 4:50 a.m. on Sunday, Denver police responded to reports of a shooting incident in the 300 block of Santa Fe Drive. Two victims self-transported to a nearby hospital. Police are working to develop suspect information.
Police responded to a shooting around 5:02 a.m. in the area of East Colfax Avenue and North Dahlia Street. One victim was located by police and later pronounced dead in an update to the post. The case is being investigated as a homicide, and police have not determined a suspect.
A fourth shooting occurred at 9:11 a.m. on Sunday in the 1300 block of North Speer Boulevard. One victim self-transported to the hospital, and police are still searching for a suspect.
Firefighters say a car crash was the cause of a large fire that broke out north of the Denver International Airport on Saturday afternoon.
The Brighton Fire Rescue District says a vehicle was traveling through the area of E. 120th Avenue and N. Watkins Road around 2 p.m. when it crashed. Fortunately, the people inside the vehicle did not suffer serious injuries, but the fire department says the vehicle’s catalytic converter caught the nearby grass on fire.
The 120 Fire quickly grew, and firefighters responded with engines, brush trucks and water tenders to attack it from multiple sides. Multiple agencies responded to assist as the winds continued to push the fire across the grassland.
It covered around 237 acres by the time firefighters brought it under control around 3:30 p.m. BFRD says firefighters continued to put out hotspots and monitor a large cottonwood tree that was smoldering nearly 30 feet up the trunk.
With Independence Day approaching, the fire rescue district shared a reminder that a single spark can ignite a fast-moving grass fire. They added that aerial fireworks are illegal in Brighton and pose a serious fire risk in the current conditions.
