A shooting occurred in downtown Denver during the celebration of the Nuggets' NBA championship win, with indications suggesting it was the result of a drug transaction gone awry.
Police spokesperson Doug Schepman said the shooting was "in the area where we had the largest gathering of folks celebrating during the night," but the crowd had "diminished quite a bit at that point."
The gunfire broke out at around 12:30 a.m. — about 3 1/2 hours after the game — the Denver Police Department said in a statement.
Scott D’Angelo was livestreaming when he heard loud pops one after another, sparking pandemonium as people dove for cover or jumped over cement barricades. Police in riot gear ducked and scrambled to draw their guns while yelling for people to find shelter.
