“I’ve been feeling very grateful that I’m alive. I never thought that I’d be grateful that the police didn’t shoot me.'
Jay Seastrunk was celebrating a friend’s birthday when Denver police opened fire as hundreds of people poured out of bars on Larimer Street early Sunday morning.
The incident around 1:30 a.m. Sunday at 20th and Larimer streets is the police shooting with the most people injured in Colorado since at least 2010, when the state started collecting data on shootings by law enforcement officers. The difference between a fatal police shooting and a non-fatal one is often as simple as a bullet missing an organ by an inch, said“Does this happen with regularity in America?” asked, an associate professor at the University of Nebraska Omaha who studies police. “We don’t know because we don’t have the data.”
Multiple witnesses who spoke to The Denver Post said that they did not hear any warning before police fired their guns in crowded Lower Downtown. The night immediately turned to chaos after the shooting, Seastrunk said. People fell to the ground and were trampled by others running away. Some people in the parking lot next to the beer hall held bloody arms.
“Obviously, shooting into a crowded street, you might shoot the person you’re shooting at, you might hit someone else, there might be ricochet, there might be fragments,” he said. “It’s got to be part of the calculus.”
