DENVER (AP) \u2014 Four men were fatally shot and a woman was hospitalized with gunshot wounds during a spate of weekend violence in the Denver suburb of Commerce City. A person of interest in one of the cases was later found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot, police said Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also in the Denver area over the weekend, a person was fatally shot and three others were injured during two separate altercations Sunday in the city of Aurora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Denver itself one person was killed and six people injured in a string of weekend shootings and stabbings, police said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commerce City Police Department spokesperson Joanna Small described it as \u201can incredibly violent weekend\u201d for the fast-expanding community of about 70,000 people, which is located just northeast of Denver near the city’s airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe average maybe 5 or 6 homicides a year,” she said. \u201cWe\u2019re now talking about four homicides and a person in critical condition in 39 hours … The fact that the crimes are not related is even more baffling, really.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Potential motives in the shootings were not released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first happened Friday night in the parking lot of a Commerce City 7-Eleven convenience store. A man and a woman were shot, and the man later died. The woman remained hospitalized in critical condition as of Sunday morning, Small said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers later tried to contact a man who had been driving a truck involved in the shooting, but he fled and was found dead as a result of suicide on Sunday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Saturday evening, a man was fatally shot in the parking lot of a public park with a pool in Commerce City. A person was taken into custody but Small declined to give further details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later that night, officers responded to shots fired during a gunfight that was detected by Commerce City\u2019s gunshot monitoring system. The officers encountered a stolen vehicle with three people that fled and later crashed, according to the authorities. A male passenger with a gunshot wound was found dead inside the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A second passenger and the driver were injured in the crash and taken into custody. Officers returning to the scene of the gunfight found a male who had been shot dead in the yard of a residence, Small said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The victims and others in that case were believed to be juveniles, she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was no known connection between the shootings at the convenience store, the park and in the residential neighborhood, Small said. She declined to give further details, citing pending investigations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fatal Aurora shooting happened at about 2 a.m. in a nightclub parking lot, police said. Details about the deceased were not immediately released. A second victim, a 34-year-old man, was shot multiple times but got to the hospital on his own and was expected to survive, police said. No arrests had been made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At about the same time, there was a shooting at an Aurora housing complex that left a man hospitalized with life-threatening injuries, police said. A second man who was stabbed in that incident was expected to survive, police said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
