Late on a Friday night, a shooting broke out at a party in the University Hill neighborhood of Boulder, causing concern among attendees and nearby residents. According to a news release, the Boulder police were alerted to the incident around 11:30 p.m. at a large gathering near Euclid Avenue and 14th Street.
Three individuals were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries to their limbs, and as of Saturday evening, they were all in stable condition. One partygoer, Evan Blecher, a recent high school graduate, had left the party just 30 minutes before the shooting occurred. He described the party as crowded, with people both inside and in the yard of the house. He and his friends decided to leave and grab some food around 11 or 11:10 p.m., just moments before the shooting took place.
Blecher expressed his fear, knowing that he and his friends could have been present when the shooting happened. Deanna Fujii, a resident of the Hill for 26 years, also shared her concern about the incident. She lives a few blocks away from where the shooting occurred and did not hear anything unusual that night. Fujii believes she may have been asleep at the time of the incident.
She mentioned that shootings are rare in her neighborhood, but when they do happen, it is a cause for worry. She expressed her concern for the student population, as the Hill is a popular area for college students. The police continued their investigation into the incident, with Boulder police spokesperson Dionne Waugh stating that the shooting likely took place in the middle of the street. They are still looking into the details of the night and following up on potential suspects.
As of Monday, there were no updates on the conditions of the victims. Typically, the police department is only informed if the victim's condition worsens. Despite the University of Colorado Boulder having a party registration program to reduce the risk of getting a ticket while hosting a party, there were no registered parties over the weekend, according to a university spokesperson.
