5 injured in downtown Denver shooting

The shooting happened Saturday night in the 1900-block of Market Street.

DENVER — Five people were injured in a shooting in LoDo Saturday night, the Denver Police Department said. 

Police said the shooting happened in the 1900 block of Market Street. DPD originally said four people were shot. They later said another victim was located and there was a total of five victims. 

On Sunday morning, DPD said the victims are all expected to survive. Police said no suspects have been identified or arrested. 

Dispatch audio said medical teams were sent to an address outside Dierks Bentley's Whiskey Row. The call came a little after 11 p.m. Saturday. 

A spokesperson for the bar said they are disheartened by the events of Saturday and their thoughts and prayers go out to those who were injured. 

"We are grateful for the swift actions of DPD, but we are very concerned about the activity in LoDo and have been engaged with city officials and neighborhood leaders on how to make positive improvements in the area. The safety of our staff and our patrons is paramount to our company," said Lissa Druss, a spokesperson for the bar.

Councilman Chris Hinds, whose district includes LoDo, said he's now asking the Executive Director of the Department of Public Safety and Denver's Chief of Police to increase police presence in LoDo to "ensure a healthy, safe environment and a strong, vibrant downtown."
