At least one person has been killed and multiple others injured after what one bystander described as a fight between rival biker gangs at a motorcycle exposition in Denver, police told the Denver Post.
At least two people had been shot and one stabbed during the incident at the National Weste Complex, where the Colorado Motorcycle Expo was being held, police spokesman Soy Jackson said. Initial reports cited the Denver Coliseum, which is in the proximity of the complex, as the site of the incident.
The bystander asked the Denver Post for anonymity out of fear of retaliation.
At least nine people have been sent to area hospitals, according to Denver Health.
Of the seven sent to Denver Health, one has died, three are in critical condition and three in stable condition, Denver Paramedics medical director Kevin McVaney said.
McVaney said the hospital was on lockdown. Officials would not elaborate on the purpose of the lockdown.
Police Technician Raquel Lopez said she couldn't provide an exact number of the injuries. She also couldn't say whether any gangs were involved.
