KU student injured in Denver shooting

A University of Kansas student and a Lawrence resident were among three people shot in Denver early Monday morning.

Joseph Kuebel, 23, was with fellow KU student Trenton Foster, Lawrence resident Ian Dumpert, 22, and Kansas State student John Watt, 22.

The group was reportedly boarding the light rail system around 5 a.m. in an area known as Five Points, a neighborhood in downtown Denver.

As the four men left a concert at Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom and were waiting to board the light rail, two masked men allegedly approached the group and demanded their wallets. After taking the wallets, the masked men reportedly began shooting, injuring Kuebel, Dumpert and Watt. Foster was uninjured. Two of the victims — though it was unclear which ones — reportedly ducked behind a ticket booth to avoid the gunfire.

Kuebel, Dumpert and Watt were added to a list of six people shot within 48 hours, and police said they think the attacks may be related. Police called the shootings “brazen attacks” and said they all consisted of the same pattern; the masked men demanded money, the victims gave them their money and the masked men shot them anyway.

No updated condition was available for any of the shooting victims, though none were listed as life-threatening.
