A man was found lying in the street with a gunshot wound Thursday afternoon in northwest Aurora, prompting police to launch an active search for whoever shot him. Officers were called about 2 p.m. to the 1900 block of Clinton Street, where rescuers determined the man had been shot before he was taken to a nearby hospital.
His injuries are considered non-life-threatening, according to Aurora police, as reported by Sentinel Colorado. The Aurora Police Gun Violence Suppression Team is now leading what officials describe as an active and ongoing investigation into the shooting.
