AURORA | Two men were shot and injured Friday night when gunfire broke out in an east Aurora condominium complex, police said.
Police were called to the Foxdale Condominiums, 18400 block of East Kepner Place, at about 6:15 p.m. after multiple residents in the area called dispatchers to report gunfire, according to Aurora police spokesperson Agent Matthew Longshore.
The men were not identified by police, other than one is 20 years old and the other 18 years old.
When police arrived, they located one of the men in the area, who was seriously injured. He was transported to a nearby hospital, suffering life-threatening injuries.
“The other man self-transported to a local urgent care before being taken to the hospital with serious injuries,” Longshore said. “Detectives responded and have begun their investigation into the incident, but it does not appear that there are any outstanding suspects.”
again: The men were 20 years old and the other 18 years old.
MEN…..
when, when, when will you gun nuts admit that allowing the proliferation of guns so that these ‘kids’ can get their hands on them is a good thing?
