AURORA | Police said a woman was injured by gunfire early Sunday in an Aurora condo parking lot in what may have been a failed car-jacking.
Officers were called to an Aurora hospital at about 12:30 a.m. after reports of a woman who walked into the emergency room seeking treatment for a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.
She told police she and her spouse were in the parking lot of Foxdale Condominiums in the 900 block of South Yampa Street, talking inside their car when another car pulled up behind them.
“The suspect then fired a shot through the driver’s-side window, striking the woman in what investigators believe may have been an attempted carjacking,” Aurora police spokesperson Agent Kristopher McDowell said in a statement. “The woman and her spouse immediately drove away from the scene and went to the hospital for treatment.”
Police said anyone with information can call Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867. Tipsters can remain anonymous and still be eligible for a reward of up to $2,000, police said.
