AURORA, Colo. — The Aurora Police Department (APD) is investigating a shooting in the area of East Colfax Avenue and Oswego Street that wounded two teenagers.
Police first tweeted about the shooting at 12:16 p.m. on Thursday.
A 16 year old and a 17 year old were wounded during the shooting, police said in an update. Both were transported to the hospital with non life-threatening injuries, APD Officer Matthew Longshore told 9NEWS.
Officers from APD are working to gather information about any suspects, police say.

Metro Denver Crime Stoppers works by assigning a code to people who anonymously submit a tip. Information is shared with law enforcement, and Crime Stoppers is notified at the conclusion of the investigation.
