One person was shot late Friday in Denver's Cole neighborhood, where police say they are working to figure out who pulled the trigger on the 2800 block of North High Street.
Denver police said officers found a single victim at the scene. The extent of that person's injuries was not immediately clear, and investigators have not publicly identified any suspect or made any arrest.
What police said
The Denver Police Department detailed the basics of the case in a post on X, noting that officers responded to the 2800 block of North High Street, where they located one victim. The post stated that the extent of the victim's injuries was unknown and that officers were working to develop suspect information.

Where this fits
The incident lands in the middle of a tense stretch for north Denver, where a series of recent shootings has put neighbors on edge and pushed officials to boost patrols and hold community meetings.
Reporting from The Colorado Sun describes several April shootings in the nearby Five Points and Cole neighborhoods that led to a neighborhood safety forum and an increased police presence in the area.
