A man was rushed to the hospital after a drive-by shooting in Denver on Thursday afternoon.
The shooting happened about 1:30 p.m. on East 33rd Avenue between Hudson and Holly streets, said Vicki Ferrari, a Denver Police Department spokeswoman.
Police are looking for a small, green car from which multiple shots were fired, Ferrari said.
The shooting happened near Skyland Park.
Details on the condition of the victim, who was taken to Denver Health Medical Center, were not available.
It was the second shooting in less than a day in Denver. Wednesday night, a man was shot in the chest as he sat on the front porch of a home about 3 miles southwest of Thursday’s shooting.
Wednesday’s shooting happened shortly before 10 p.m. in the 2300 block of High Street, Ferrari said.
The shooter walked up to the porch and shot the victim “multiple times.”
That gunman fled on foot and remained at large Thursday, police said.
The victim was taken to Denver Health Medical Center and is expected to survive, Ferrari said.
Police have not said whether they believe the shootings are connected.
