DENVER — Police are searching for the people who exchanged gunfire in the area of Colfax Avenue and Broadway in downtown Denver during rush hour Tuesday evening. 

Police said the shots were fired just after 5 p.m. They believe two men exchanged gunfire with another man. All three people then left the scene. It's unclear if any of them were injured.

Police said they detained two people at the scene. One of them was later released. The other is under investigation for a weapons violation, but police said they don't know if that alleged violation is connected to the shots fired.
