AURORA | Police said a shooting in Aurora is connected to a car crashing into an RTD light-rail train, sending four people to a hospital on Christmas morning.
Dispatchers received reports of a shooting in the 18000 block of East Kepner Place at about 8:30 a.m., police said in a social media post. The shooting took place in the parking lot of a apartment complex in the area.
Just after that, three men and two women got in a car and drove away from the scene of the shooting. Police said the people in the car and the shooting victim are all known to one another.
“A vehicle from the shooting fled the scene and crashed into an RTD train at Sable and Ellsworth,” police stated.
Everyone in the car except one man was taken to a nearby hospital. The two women suffered minor injures. One man was critically injured.
One of the men in the car suffered “serious” injuries from a gunshot wound and from the crash.
The two women sustained minor injuries from the crash and the third male was checked out on scene and was not transported to the hospital.
“The RTD train will be out of commission for an extended period of time,” police said.
All of the lanes of South Sable Boulevard at East Ellsworth Avenue were closed in both directions until about 2 p.m.
Let me guess…all four are receiving free medical care? The cost to society just keeps going up due to these fools who can’t function without GUNS! And it is a sure bet that they were already felons. Just spare society the continued pain and expense and lock them all up for a few long decades.
“Just North Aurora things.”
Nope. *South* Sable Boulevard and Kepner Place (950 *South*) place the “things” squarely in Central Aurora.
LOL, wrong. Both areas are firmly in North Aurora. The “South” has nothing to do with Aurora, it’s based off of Denver’s street designations, with Broadway and Ellsworth as the zero point. Both areas are firmly in North Aurora.
When did you move to Colorado, the 2010s? Because you clearly have no idea how the street nomenclature works.
Try again, know-it-all. The “South” has everything to do with Aurora, as it appears on half of its streets. Aurora and Denver originated around the same axis (Colfax Avenue), so what is north in Denver is north in Aurora. Aurora’s official maps designate these areas in and around the City *Center*, *Centre*point, and *Centre*tech neighborhoods – again, placing them firmly in Central Aurora. On the other hand, the North Aurora neighborhood lies north of Colfax:

“Try again, know-it-all. The “South” has everything to do with Aurora, as it appears on half of its streets.”
Yes, know-nothing, because those streets are “South” of Ellsworth, which originates in “Denver,” not Aurora. Or are you arguing that North Centennial is also “Central Centennial,” because its streets have “South” in the address?
“Aurora and Denver originated around the same axis (Colfax Avenue”
Aurora originated around Colfax. Denver originated around Lower Downtown–which does not include Colfax. Which someone who is actually *from* Colorado and especially the Denver metro would know. Colfax Avenue wasn’t even built until Denver had already been in existence for a decade, and it was separated by the Auraria neighborhood.
Phil Goodstein’s “Denver Streets: Names, Numbers, Locations, and Logic” has all this info if you’re actually capable of reading books that don’t require crayons to finish.
” Aurora’s official maps designate these areas in and around the City *Center*, *Centre*point, and *Centre*tech neighborhoods ” again, placing them firmly in Central Aurora.”
LOL–the City Center name is meant to designate the area as the place where the city’s *offices and courts* are *centralized,* with the “Centre”point and “Centre”tech areas adjacent to it. It has nothing to do with it being called “central Aurora.”
The “North Aurora” neighborhood designation wasn’t implemented until after World War II when Hoffman Heights was built, which was considered “south Aurora” at the time. Now North Aurora is far northwest.
“When did you move to Colorado, yesterday? Because you clearly have no idea how the neighborhood nomenclature works.”
LOL, we called the area “North Aurora” when I was going to Hinkley in the 90s and lived on “South” Sable. No one ever called it “Central Aurora,” dingdong. That’s what happens when you’ve actually lived in the area for several decades, not the Obama administration.
When did you move to Colorado, yesterday? Because you clearly have no idea how the neighborhood nomenclature works. And as you demonstrated in your post, you don’t even know its history.

Call up the autism response team and get some therapy to address your anger management issues, Factory. Any schoolchild glancing at a map of Aurora would say these incidents happened in the center of the city.
LOL, stop. You didn’t even know there was a “North Aurora” neighborhood until you googled the current city map, and now you’re trying to deflect from your lack of knowledge of Aurora and metro Denver in particular, because you didn’t actually move to Colorado until the Obama Administration. 😀
Thanks for admitting you have the intellect of a schoolchild.
No more blather about your self-appointed expertise on all things “North Aurora”? Thanks for admitting the “things” happened in the center of the city.
Odd fixation on the “Obama Administration”, by the way – fascinating stuff for the autism response team.
Nice to see you continue to deflect about your lack of knowledge of both Aurora and the Denver metro. Those “things” happened in North Aurora, not the center of the city.
It’s not a”fixation,” to note that you didn’t actually live here until the Obama administration, which is why you’re “autistically” fixated on a current neighborhood map, instead of what the area was actually called by people who lived there longer than you. Maybe you think South Middle School is also in the City Center. 🤣
