Denver Police shot an armed man in the arm amid a chaotic night in LoDo

Denver Police gave an update Friday about a shooting involving officers earlier this month that injured a man.

Police posted at 3:08 a.m. on Aug. 3 on social media that officers were investigating the shooting in the area of 19th and Market streets in the Lower Downtown area.

Denver Police Chief Ron Thomas said during a news conference that several officers were managing crowds in the area when a person flagged an officer and reported a man with a gun near a vehicle in a nearby parking lot.

Officers approached the vehicle that matched the description and asked a man standing next to it to show his hands, Thomas said.

Body camera video shows officers approaching the man and telling him to drop the gun, who then appears to point the gun towards officers. An officer then fired a single gunshot at the man, hitting him once in the arm.

The man was taken to the hospital in serious condition but has since been released. Police said Friday that he has not been charged with any crimes at this point.

No officers were injured.

Thomas said there was another shooting that happened around the same time in the parking lot that is under investigation.

Thomas said there was evidence of a "volley of gunshots" in the parking lot in addition to the officer-involved shooting.

One person was injured in that shooting, who transported themself in their vehicle to the 7/11 near the intersection of Downing and Lawrence streets. A second person in the car was injured when the vehicle crashed.

Police do not believe at this point that the second shooting was related to the shooting involving officers, and it remains under investigation.
