DENVER – Denver police say at least one person is hospitalized after reports of a shooting in downtown Denver.
Officers responded to a business in a busy part of downtown after a report of a gunman Tuesday afternoon. Several streets in the area were blocked off.
Police spokesman Doug Schepman says the gunman, whose name has not been released, was found dead when SWAT officers arrived. The female victim was taken to a hospital, but her condition has not been released.
Schepman says the gunman targeted the victim, and detectives are trying to determine the connection between the two.
Officers went floor-by-floor to clear the Alliance Center, a building that houses several environmental organizations and provides shared workspaces. Other buildings were locked down, and people were asked to stay away from the area.
