Nine men and one woman, about half of whom are believed to be innocent bystanders, suffered gunshot wounds in downtown Denver just hours after the city celebrated the Nuggets’ historic win on Monday night.
Shots rang out around 12.30am Tuesday near the intersection of Market and 20th Streets -- a bar-filled area which was emptying after thousands congregated to cheer and set off fireworks in the wake of the NBA victory. One injured suspect, 22-year-old Ricardo Vazquez, took off running and was apprehended several blocks away before being transported to the hospital, officials said Tuesday at a press conference.
