UPDATE: Police now say one person is dead and four people were injured in the shooting at East Colfax and Verbena.
Verbena is closed from East 14th to East 16th avenues, and East Colfax Avenue is Uinta to Wabash streets, police said.
The ShotSpotter system was the first notification of the gunfire, then dispatch started receiving 911 calls, Clark said. Video surveillance shows the suspects driving up in the vehicle before stepping out and pulling handguns on a group sitting behind a discount store. A motive is not clear at this time.
Stephen Gile, who works at the Airway Motel, 8339 E. Colfax Ave., said he heard 20 to 30 gunshots a little before 2 p.m. He said he went outside and crossed the street and saw people with gunshot wounds. Gile, who has lived next to this intersection for 10 years, said this summer had been quieter than last, but shootings aren’t uncommon. Gile said he tried to help a man who was shot in the chest, but the man did not have a pulse and died.Clark described the busy area as a “city hot spot” where gun fire has been documented to be frequent.
