1 Dead, Another Injured In Shooting In Littleton
LITTLETON, Colo. (CBS4) - Police in Littleton are investigating a deadly shooting that took place before sunrise on Friday.
The incident happened about 5:30 a.m. in the parking lot of an office at 8122 South Park Lane off West Mineral Avenue. When police arrived they said they found two men with gunshot wounds.
One was dead and the other was hurt and rushed to the hospital. He suffered from non-life threatening injuries.
Investigators gathered evidence from the parking lot over several hours on Friday.
About the same time as the shooting, police were called to investigate a vehicle fire on Jamison Avenue about one mile away from the shooting scene.
Joanna Wang, a neighbor, took pictures of the flames that rose from the pickup truck with a plow attached to the front.
"It definitely got hotter, we could feel it and it just got bigger," said Wang.
Other neighbors were suspicious when they saw all the police activity.
"I came home during school and they had yellow tape and I was like, 'This looks like a little too much for a truck on fire,'" said one neighbor who didn't want to be identified.
There is no suspect information in either case. The names of the shooting victims have not been released but police do not believe the public is in danger.
Witnesses told CBS4 that police said they believe the truck found in flames may have been stolen from the two men at the parking lot who were plowing snow.
