DENVER — Police are investigating two shootings that happened hours apart at a southeast Denver apartment complex.
According to the Denver Police Department (DPD), the first shooting happened just before midnight Thursday at Pembrooke on the Green apartments. That's located in the 10700 block of East Dartmouth Avenue, which are just north of Interstate 225 near Cherry Creek State Park.
The victim managed to get to a hospital in Aurora without an ambulance, police said. DPD at first tweeted that he had died, but later issued a correction saying he was still alive.
Just before 8 a.m. Friday, police were called back to the apartments for a person in the parking lot needing medical attention. Officers arrived and found 36-year-old Carl Kern suffering from a gunshot wound, police said. Kern was rushed to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.
DPD said there is no information to indicate the two incidents are related.
