Authorities were called to the scene near the area of E. 13th\u00a0 Avenue and Logan Street around 9:30 p.m. The Denver Police Department warned that extensive road closures are in place, and all intersections surrounding the area are closed. They’re asking drivers to avoid the area while officers work the scene.<\/p>\n

They said they don’t have information yet on why the person fired at the police.<\/p>\n

A helicopter can be seen circling the area, and a SWAT vehicle has also responded to the scene. DPD reports the scene is “extremely active.” Police said that one person sustained a minor leg injury when shots were fired at the officers, and they were taken to the hospital for treatment. They added that no officers were injured.<\/p>\n
