Man dies, 8 people hurt in south Denver shooting at bar on East Hampden Avenue

A man is dead and multiple other people are hurt after an overnight shooting in southeast Denver. That's according to Denver police, who say they are working to develop suspect information.

It happened just after midnight at the Ultra Lounge East at 9755 East Hampden Avenue. Crime scene tape could be seen outside the building.

Police said eight people were taken to the hospital and their injuries were described as non-life threatening. The man who died was declared dead after being taken to the hospital.

Denver Police Chief Ron Thomas said in a news conference that the shooting happened in the patio area of the bar and in the parking lot. He said many or all of those involved with the shooting had gathered at the location as part of some sort of after-party. Members of the group had previously been at a location in the neighborhing city of Aurora where there was also some sort of disturbance.

Thomas said at least two weapons were fired in the shooting.
