ADAMS COUNTY, Colo. — Two juveniles were charged Thursday with a combined 18 counts in connection with a shooting at an Adams County sports bar that left five people injured over the weekend.

The suspects were among the five gunshot victims following the shooting at 52eighty Sports Bar, located at 7575 Broadway in unincorporated Adams County Saturday night, according to deputies with their Adams County Sheriff’s Office.

A witness at the scene, Corina Pino, said they were celebrating her mother's 60th birthday party when shots rang out. Her 17-year-old stepson and her sister-in-law, Heather Harmon, were hit by gunfire.

“Her kids are maybe 15 and 11 or 10," said Pino. "They had to see their mom shot in a bathroom on the floor, fighting for her life.”
