Denver police injure 5 bystanders in LoDo while shooting man who allegedly pointed gun at officers

Denver police injured five bystanders when they opened fire in the busy Lower Downtown nightlife district as bars closed early Sunday, shooting a man they allege pointed a gun at officers.

Those bystanders — three women and two men — were either shot by police or injured with shrapnel from the officers’ bullets, Denver police said in a news release Sunday afternoon.

The man police say pointed a gun at officers, 21-year-old Jordan Waddy, is also expected to survive his injuries.

Officers saw a disturbance that involved an armed man and confronted him, Denver police Division Chief Ron Thomas said in a recorded statement shared on social media at 4 a.m. Sunday.

She said she saw two police officers draw their weapons and shoot a man, firing at least three rounds.

The Sunday shooting is the third time in a week that Denver police officers shot someone.

On Wednesday, officers shot and killed a man who they say fired shots at pursuing officers. »
