An elderly man was shot while sleeping in his University Park apartment Wednesday morning during a possible drive-by shooting, according to Denver police and media reports.
The man was struck in the arm by a bullet that traveled through a window of his apartment, police said. His injuries are not considered life threatening, said John White, Denver police spokesman.
Unidentified suspects fired at least one gunshot at an apartment building in the 2500 block of West Jewell Avenue at 2:10 a.m., White said.
The victim called police about the shooting himself, he said.
He was not able to give a description of any vehicle used in the shooting.
“We can’t say for sure that it was a drive-by shooting,” White said.
The victim also didn’t have a description of any suspects, he said.
