Five bystanders were injured early Sunday after Denver police opened fire on a man who authorities say pointed a gun at them in the Lower Downtown neighborhood.
Police said they were near 20th and Larimer streets around 1:30 a.m. in LoDo when Jordan Waddy, 21, pointed a handgun at officers. Police said Waddy did not fire the gun. Crowds were dispersing from the area as three officers responded to Waddy’s gesture and immediately fired shots at him. As police fired their weapons at Waddy, three women and two men were hit by what authorities think may have been ricocheting bullets, or shrapnel from bullets aimed at Waddy. Police said they are still working to determine the cause of the injuries. The five victims are expected to survive.

It will be interesting to see the final report on the incident. I’ll leave it there since anything else is speculation.

Whether it's from ricochets or direct fire it's still pretty poor marksmanship wither way. I'm not even going to mention whether it was the right or wrong decision to shoot with civilians in the crossfire.

This is the biggest lie I've heard in some time; "As police fired their weapons at Waddy, three women and two men were hit by what authorities think may have been ricocheting bullets, or shrapnel from bullets aimed at Waddy".
