DENVER (CBS4) – Just before sunrise Monday morning, a south Denver neighborhood was violently awoken by gunfire.
“It was surreal. It didn’t seem like it was actually happening,” said Russ Skigen, a resident of the Gun Club Green community.
First, Skigen said he heard the gunshots.
“I heard 10. Other neighbors heard six. Others heard eight,” he told CBS4.
Then, Skigen saw smoke billowing from a neighbor’s car which crashed at a home on East Dartmouth Avenue.
“I realized that there was somebody in there and my neighbors needed help getting her out,” he said.
With a mix of panic and adrenaline, Skigen rushed to the fiery scene.
“Myself and a couple of our neighbors were able to pull her out of the car,” Skigen explained.
Skigen said it was clear the woman he helped pull from the burning car had been shot in the face. He and his neighbors did what they could to help her until Denver firefighters and paramedics arrived.

Once upon a time, journalists would try to do the Who, What, Where, When thing.
But now it’s Drama, more Drama, touch of Drama, then some Drama, and then a little Who. Maybe.
Good chance drugs were involved.
My brother-in-law had a nice house in an upscale Denver neighborhood. He had to build a ten foot high iron fence around the property and install a very hi-tech security system. Criminals would even steal the furniture off of his porch. When we visited we were often awakened by police sirens and red lights in the alley behind the house. And as I said this was an upscale neighborhood. I’d never move to Denver.
All reporters are now sob sisters. “Facts? Who needs facts? People want emotion! They want to know how people feeeeeeeel!”
From what is visible, that looks like a well kept, upper middle class neighborhood. This sounds like a hit job on these two individuals, not random killing. Even still, I’m sure the rest of the neighbors now feel much less safe than before.
what was she doing in a car fire that she got shot???
Yes!! I always think it is nuts, when someone starts off a sentence with, “Myself”....
Oh, yeah, the rest of the story is pretty crazy, too. It will be interesting to see what the investigation reveals.
When they got to the neighborhood near Quebec and Dartmouth, a DPD spokesperson explained officers looked up the registration of the burning vehicle the woman was pulled from.
It belonged to a resident in a house just across the street, and when officers went inside, they found a man who’d also been shot. Police said the man was taken to a hospital where he later died.
“It was horrific seeing something like that happen,” Skigen said.
Police said the victims were in a relationship and the circumstances are part of the ongoing investigation.

Sounds like a pretty bad relationship.
even 30 yrs ago, I noticed in many Denver neighborhoods BARS on the windows.....in upstate NY we never had bars on our windows and my father always left his car keys on the front seat in plain view....
The only other place I’ve visited with a lot of bars on windows was Hollywood in the 90s. We lived there a few years in the late 70s, but there weren’t bars then. Now the entire area is barred up.
...a south Denver neighborhood was violently awoken by gunfire.
They were already woke. Best idea for them is gun confiscation followed by defunding the police. /s
“Once upon a time, journalists would try to do the Who, What, Where, When thing.”
Now it’s “whatever”.
I stay away from car fires. They’re nothing but bad news and a terrible place to get shot.
***Who, What, Where, When thing.***
I remember that way back in the 1960s high school class!
“Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How!”
no, no it’s not desirable...
The up scale Denver Neighborhood. Was it Park Hill north near MLK Blvd? Could you say the location of the upscale neighborhood?
It’s been a long time and I can’t remember the main street there. It was south of downtown. Lots of big turn of the 20th century homes. Nice neighborhood except for the marauding thieves.
South of Downtown Denver. Was not Park Hill. Was not anywhere near MLK Blvd. could have been S Broadway or S Santa Fe. Or Washington Park. One of the mega trends is that big city people are moving to safer areas away from the big city.
Local news is unwatchable between the liberal bias and the slobbering emotionalism. You can get the weather from a phone app or the radio. Ditto for sports scores.
The main drag nearby began with a “C” I think. It’s been 20 years since I was there. My BIL used to love this restaurant called the “Good Friends” which had giant martinis. That’s mostly what I recall.
