Pressed for answers on how five people were injured this week after officers allegedly “randomly” fired into a late-night crowd outside a bar, the Denver Police Department has said the injuries may have been caused by “debris” or “shrapnel” and not direct gunfire.
That was the response of Denver Police Chief Paul Pazen, who on Monday was questioned by reporters about why so little information has been released to the public about the bizarre incident.
The shooting took place in the early hours of Sunday morning, when police officers responding to a disturbance outside a Denver bar fired at a suspect, identified as Jordan Waddy, who they said was “reaching into his waistband” for what they thought was a firearm.
