A man, woman and boy were wounded late Tuesday in a Fort Collins shooting that police say happened during an altercation between two groups.
Investigators say the shooting happened just before midnight on the 2700 block of Worthington Avenue, just south of the Colorado State University campus. The wounded man, 22-year-old Cameron Salazar, and woman, 19-year-old Katlyn Mitchell, were taken to hospitals for treatment and later released.
The boy, whose age was not released, arrived at Poudre Valley Hospital for treatment of a gunshot wound. An update on his condition was not released.
Police say the shooting happened after Mitchell and Salazar earlier in the night had been in contact with a man named Able Maki and two juveniles — including the boy who was wounded.
“Maki and the juveniles came to the residence and a physical disturbance ensued,” Fort Collins police said in a news release. “Shots were fired by multiple parties, and Maki and the juveniles fled.”
Salazar was arrested on suspicion of first-degree assault. Maki, 21, was arrested on suspicion of first-degree assault as well as attempted aggravated robbery. Both men were booked into the Larimer County jail.
Police say there is no threat to the public. “They were (all) known to each other,” said Kate Kimble, a Fort Collins police spokeswoman.
Kimble said authorities have made contact with everyone involved in the shooting.
Investigators have not said what prompted the shooting.
Authorities say additional charges in the case are pending.
