DENVER (KDVR) — Denver Police are investigating multiple shootings that sent 11 people to the hospital after thousands flocked downtown in celebration of the Denver Nuggets’ historic NBA Finals win.

Sad, and scary.... I was literally there the night prior!

I never mentioned earlier but ended up joining a bachelor party last minute as my work schedule randomly cleared up... We loved Denver, it was a random choice because the groom is our most social friend we have, and he'd been to every other cliche place for a bachelor party. Denver sounded fun, plus it's a direct flight. We saw a show at Red Rocks, caught a baseball game, played mini soccer at a cool place near Ball Arena, and then mostly just drank and went to the peelers :lol:

There's nowhere in Van anywhere near the party vibe as that area... it's wild. Saw several fights, had a few people just randomly try and start shit when we were walking home. Definitely stuck close with friends and went to more lowkey after hours spots. We're not in our 20's anymore.

Not saying I know what happened here but just as a visitor, you could feel tension in the area in that party district, it definitely felt a bit feral. Otherwise loved Denver though, want to go back with my wife.
