DENVER-
A group of seven friends, most who had driven from Kansas State University to catch a concert, had already handed over their rings, watches, cell phones and wallets, when one of two robbers shot and wounded three, the father of one in the group told The Denver Post.
“You know you aren’t in a good part of town,” David Hensley, the father of one of the robbery victims who escaped injury, told the Post Monday.
Ian Dumpert, 22, of Paola, Kan., John Watt, 22, of Wamego, Kan., and Joseph Kuebel, 23, of Glen Ellyn, Ill., were wounded after they had left a concert by the Boulder-based jam band Zilla.
Dumpert was listed in serious condition, and Watt and Kuebel were in fair condition Monday at Denver Health Medical Center, said hospital spokeswoman Dee Martinez.
Hensley’s son, Dakota Hensley, 19, Kenneth Giefer, age unknown, both of Manhattan, Kan., Trenton Foster, 23, of Lawrence, Kan. and Jeff McGhee, 21, of Englewood, all escaped injury.
Police believe the two masked men have shot six people in Denver since Friday.
“Unfortunately there is nothing that these victims could have done differently,” said police spokeswoman Virginia Quinones. “They complied with the suspects’ demands and they were very brazenly shot.”
