Union Station closed around 10:30 p.m. and RTD put an emergency closure checklist into place, which is standard protocol in an event like a shooting. 

Police gathered evidence and conducted an investigation until the scene was cleared just after 5 a.m. Tuesday. All RTD services resumed Tuesday morning.

Denver police told CBS Colorado the investigation is ongoing, including what led up to the shooting.
