DENVER — A woman attempted four carjackings in nine minutes in South Denver on Monday afternoon after she was confronted by two people about possible stolen property, according to Denver police.
The 22-year-old woman pointed a gun at eight people and fired three shots – hitting no one – during the brief incident, according to a police affidavit of probable cause filed against her. A Denver police officer broke a bone while arresting the woman, according to the affidavit.
The incident unfolded at about 1:49 p.m. in a parking lot near East Hampden Avenue and South Dahlia Street. Two coworkers in the parking lot noticed a piece of clothing on the ground beside a truck, and believed the clothing had been recently stolen from another coworker during a vehicle break-in.
