An altercation between the partygoers in the area of 16th Street and Glenarm Place around 1:50 a.m. escalated into the shooting, according to the Denver Police Department, KDVR reported.
“At this point, investigators are working to determine the circumstances that led up to the shooting as well as who was involved,” the Denver Police Department said in a statement.
In a similar situation, two people were killed and 28 people were injured at a Baltimore block party shooting in July. That same month, 13 people were reportedly shot, stabbed or struck by vehicles at a New York street party attended by hundreds of people.
