On Monday night, the city of Denver was ecstatic, after the Nuggets won their first NBA championship. That came after the Nuggets defeated the Miami Heat in Game 5, in a thrilling matchup. Nikola Jokic was named NBA Finals MVP, as he made his case for why he’s the best basketball player in the world right now. As a result, fans went on to party in the city, and even lit fireworks.

However, downtown Denver also came with chaos, after the Nuggets won it all. 10 people were reportedly shot, a mile away from Ball Arena, per TMZ. Denver Police state that this shooting occurred around 12:30AM, as they labeled this a “complex” situation.

Furthermore, the shooter is also said to have sustained injuries. Three are in critical condition, and the other victims reportedly have non-life-threatening injuries.

“As far as what led up to this altercation that resulted in the shots being fired, that’s still under investigation at this time,” said a Denver police spokesperson. “It did occur in the area where we had largest gathering of folks celebrating during the night.”10 injured in shooting in Denver after Nuggets win NBA Finals
