DENVER (CBS4) – Claims of an active shooter at PRIDE festivities in Denver are false, Denver police say. The Center on Colfax and Denver PRIDE organizers say there was a security incident at the Colfax Pride Hub Saturday afternoon.
They say it was resolved, and no arrests were made. No one was reportedly hurt.
“Long story short: protesting does not give you the right to damage property,” the center tweeted.

Denver police officials say officers in riot gear may have been present on standby, but they did not have information about them responding to any confrontation at all.
