Six teens injured in drive-by shooting at park next to Aurora high school

Suspects still at large; none of the injuries were believed to be life-threatening, police said


Six teenagers were injured in a midday drive-by shooting Monday at a park across the street from an Aurora high school that sent students sprinting for safety — and police searching for suspects.

All six victims, who range in age from 14 to 18, are students at Aurora Central High School and were hospitalized, Aurora police Chief Vanessa Wilson said at an afternoon news conference.

None of their injuries were believed to be life-threatening, but one of the teens was undergoing emergency surgery, she said.

Investigators believe multiple suspects opened fire around 12:45 p.m. Monday in and near Nome Park, at 12th Avenue and Nome Street, and that they fired from a car and possibly from on foot as well, she said. No suspects have been detained. They fired multiple guns and police have collected ammunition of different calibers, Wilson said.
