One person is dead and multiple others have been taken to the hospital after Denver police say it's investigating three non-fatal shootings and a separate homicide that occurred Tuesday night through early Wednesday morning. The first of the four shootings occurred around 6 p.m. on Tuesday in the 2300 block of South Sherman Street, near the intersection of East Iliff Avenue just west of Harvard Gulch Park. One person was taken to the hospital in that shooting with unknown injuries and police don't yet have information about the suspect or suspects. Around midnight, DPD posted on social media about another shooting in the 4600 block of West 46th Avenue on the south side of Berkeley Lake Park. One person was taken to the hospital as a result of that shooting and DPD doesn't know the extent of their injuries. Investigators are working to get information about the suspect or suspects in that shooting. Police are also investigating a homicide that occurred in the 8400 block of East Hampden Avenue just west of South Yosemite Street. DPD tweeted about that homicide around 2:20 a.m. Police didn't say the nature of the death -- whether it was a shooting, stabbing, or something else -- but said investigators are working to determine what happened. One person was taken to the hospital, where they later died. Then at 2:35 a.m., DPD tweeted about another shooting, this one in the 5900 block of North Dunkirk Street, north of Green Valley Ranch and south of Denver International Airport.

Coroner raises concerns about police firearms training after man fatally shot
A coroner has raised concerns that police firearms training did not ensure 'clear and consistent understanding' about when armed officers should announce their arrival before a man was fatally shot during a raid. Sean Fitzgerald, who was unarmed, died from a single gunshot wound to the chest after leaving a property in Coventry at about 6.20pm on January 4 2019. West Midlands Police firearms officers, who were investigating a suspected organised crime gang, 'began using a chainsaw to break down the front door' while Mr Fitzgerald emerged from the back door. The jury concluded in May, at the end of a six-week inquest, that the 31-year-old was lawfully killed when a firearms officer, known as Officer K, fired the fatal shot while standing seven-and-a-half feet from the back door. Officer K told the inquest he had been standing in the back garden of the property when he saw a curtain move and a man holding a black object which he thought was a gun, the BBC reported. A prevention of future deaths report published on Tuesday said officers at the front of the property did not shout 'armed police' before breaking down the two doors at the front of the property. The jury found that the officers should have announced 'armed police' at the front and rear of the property before they began entering and when the curtain was seen moving through the window. Sir John Saunders, sitting as coroner for Coventry and Warwickshire, said in his report: 'Given the risks to life inherent in armed policing, both to the officers and to members of the public, it is important that firearms officers are given the best possible training and support to perform their role. 'In these circumstances, I am concerned that the guidance and training given to firearms officers on tactics of containing and entering properties (and specifically in relation to the containment and call out with limited entry tactic) does not ensure a clear and consistent understanding of when they should announce their presence, or what factors to consider in deciding when to make the announcement. 'The evidence of the officers involved in the operation as to the recommended or standard practice was inconsistent. 'If the approach of different officers is inconsistent, there is the clear potential for mistakes to be made and for the lives of officers and others to be put at risk. 'The timing of the announcement is plainly important, and any potential for confusion or for making the announcement at the wrong time risks fatal consequences.' The report, which was sent to West Midlands Police and the College of Policing, also said Sir John is concerned that training and guidance about how firearms officers should position themselves 'does not include detailed consideration of the risks of taking up position in close proximity to entrances'. Sir John said: 'It does not appear to address the effects of proximity on threat perception and the use of force.'
