The fourth shooting occurred in Denver near West Colfax Avenue and North Meade Street around 1 a.m. Sunday. A man was shot and transported to the hospital in this incident. Their condition is not known. No arrests were made.

About two hours later in Aurora, police responded to a shooting at 15499 East Mississippi Avenue. Police said an argument in a parking lot led to one man getting shot in the leg. He was transported to the hospital.
