Seven people — including one Colorado State University student — have been cited by Fort Collins police for the melee early Sunday morning near Old Town Fort Collins.
No one was seriously injured in the riot, which involved police using tear gas and pepper-spray pellets to disperse the crowd. The fracas caused an estimated $12,000 in property damage.
