10 injured in shooting in downtown Denver after Nuggets win NBA Championship
Jun 13, 2023
DENVER — Ten people were injured in a mass shooting during celebrations in downtown Denver just after the Nuggets clinched the NBA championship early Tuesday morning.
The shooting, first reported by Denver police just after midnight, happened in the 2000 block of Market Street where thousands of people had gathered.
Police initially tweeted four victims and a suspect had possibly been shot and injured. The suspect was taken into custody.
At around 2:30 a.m., police updated to say nine gunshot victims were taken to a hospital. The suspect is the 10th injured person.
Three of the injured victims are in critical condition, as of the latest update Tuesday morning. The other gunshot victims did not have life-threatening injuries, police said.
Hours after the shooting, investigators were pouring over remnants of the chaotic scene.
Dozens of evidence markers covered the intersection where scooters and bikes were tossed all over the crime scene.
During an early report, Denver7 reporter Veronica Acosta noted crime scene tape surrounding a parking lot where a SUV had its windows shot out.
Denver police tweeted the investigation is ongoing but believed the shooting possibly began as “an altercation involving several individuals.”
Police are expected to give a briefing at 11:30 a.m. and Denver7 will stream the press conference on our digital and social platforms.
Gang warfare from the Heat Gang vs.the Nugget Gang.
Way to celebrate. Fidiots!
Yaah, only ten?
It was originally reported as eleven.
I recall the shootings at the Toronto Raptors' victory parade in 2019 and I mused about how much stricter gun control laws were by that time compared to when the Leafs last won a Stanley Cup (in 1967) and their victory parade had no violence whatsoever. What changed? Probably also applies to when other American sports teams won championships in those years past.
Our country
Which...uh...never happened.
too much tolerance ... a byproduct of the 19th amendment of over 100 years ago ... has caught up to us ...
Yea, Johnny Bower
I thought you were going to say after the Seahawks won the SB - didn’t happen either. Well, no shootings that is.
Is anyone surprised by this? It’s Denver.
Remember the riots in Vancouver after the Canucks lost Game Seven to the Bruins?
I won't even go see Leonid and Friends if they play Denver.
I recall the riots when the Canucks lost to the Rangers in 1994 (also a game seven).

On the western slope now, but I refuse to go to Denver.
Oh my God! They can say that?
Oh, wait. It says nuggets. I read too quickly.
In Littleton and I rarely go to downtown Denver, especially unarmed.
