No arrests made in Brighton shooting.

At least four people were involved in a shooting that left two injured Saturday night in Brighton, but police have not made any arrests in connection with the incident.

Brighton police responded to a report of a gunshot victim after 7:30 p.m., on Bluebird Street, and while there, received another call about a man in same neighborho­od with a gun, Brighton police said in a news release Monday.

Officers located the first victim and then learned there was a second victim in the same area, according to the release. The person found with a gun while running through a neighborho­od also was a shooting victim, police said.

The police department issued a CodeRed, asking residents to shelter in place, as they searched the area, the release stated. Officers lifted the order after realizing the person with the gun was connected to the earlier shooting.

The two injured people were transporte­d to Platte Valley Medical Center for treatment of their non-life-threatenin­g injuries. Two other people involved in the incident fled the scene but have been identified, according to police. Investigat­ors believe the shooting was an isolated incident.

Anyone with informatio­n is asked to call Detective Katie Arehart at 303-655-8740.

Police seek Chevrolet Impala in connection with double shooting, death.

Englewood police are searching for a 1998 Chevrolet Impala in connection with a shooting Sunday afternoon that left one person dead and a second seriously injured.

“We have possibly four people on the loose,” said Scot Allen, Englewood police spokesman.

The suspects fled the shooting that happened in an alley in the 3600 block of South Bannock Street at around 2:30 p.m. Sunday.

“We haven’t identified the suspects yet or located the car,” Allen said.

One possible motive for the shooting is robbery, he said. But police are looking at other possible reasons, he said.

“We’re not sure at this stage,” Allen said.

The victim was pronounced dead at the scene.

One injured in Westminste­r road rage shooting.

A man pulled a gun and shot another driver during a road rage fight Monday afternoon on a major street in Westminste­r.

The man who was shot was expected to survive, and police aren’t yet sure what precipitat­ed the incident, said Luis López, Westminste­r police investigat­or.

Officers arrived about 1:40 p.m. Monday to the scene in the 10700 block of Sheridan Boulevard, near Westminste­r City Park, after reports of two men fighting. During the fight, one of the drivers pulled out a gun and shot the other man, according to a Westminste­r police news release.

Investigat­ors continued to conduct interviews Monday afternoon, López said.

Westminste­r police said that people should call 911 if they witness an aggressive driver and should refrain from contacting that person.
