DENVER (Reuters) - Three people were wounded in a shooting in the
parking lot of an amphitheater in Colorado after a concert headlined by
American rapper Nas, the Jefferson County sheriff's office said early on
Friday morning.
No one has
been arrested in connection with the shooting outside the Red Rocks
Amphitheatre in Morrison, near Denver, and the park area remained
closed, the sheriff's office said in a series of Twitter messages.
"Gunshot victims from Red Rocks Park have been transported to area
hospitals. Sketchy info about at-large suspect, search under way," the
sheriff's office said.
The
sheriff's office and Denver police said on Twitter three shooting
victims were found in a white sport utility vehicle in Denver, about 15
miles from the amphitheatre. The circumstances and the extent of the
injuries were unclear.
Red Rocks Amphitheater is an outdoor concert venue set among red sandstone outcroppings in the foothills west of Denver.
The Beatles played there in their first U.S. tour in 1964. The theater
was closed to rock acts for a five-year period in the 1970s following a
riot during a concert by the English rock band Jethro Tull.
