DENVER-
Three out-of-state college students shot early Sunday at a light rail station after being robbed were expected to survive, said police detective Virginia Quinones.
The three, whose names and hometowns were not released, had attended a concert and had gone to the nearby station at 5 a.m., she said.
Two suspects wearing ski masks approached and demanded their money. The victims complied but were still shot, one in the neck, one in the back, and one in the chest.
Quinones said there were witnesses, but police had no suspects. The shootings shut down service to the station for about four hours.
The case resembled three other predawn robberies since Friday, police spokesman Sonny Jackson said. In each case, the suspects confronted the victims on the street or at a bus or train stop and demanded money.
The first suspect was described as a black man, about 6-feet-2-inches to 6-foot-4, about 180 to 190 pounds, possibly with a pockmarked face. The second suspect was described as a black man, about 5-foot-8 to 5-foot-10, about 180 pounds with short black hair.
