DENVER (AP) — Authorities near Denver are searching for a man with a rifle who shot and wounded three people at the end of a rap concert last night.
The shooting took place at the popular Red Rocks outdoor amphitheater. No motive was released, but a sheriff’s spokesman says the attack didn’t appear to be random.
The victims’ injuries weren’t life-threatening, and one of them has been discharged from the hospital.
The sheriff’s spokesman says the victims didn’t include any of the performers at the concert, which featured Nas, Schoolboy Q and Flying Lotus. The concert was held to benefit three groups, including the Gang Rescue and Support Project of Denver.
