Denver Police say at least 10 people were injured after what appeared to be a drive-by shooting at a family reunion in a park on Sunday.
Nine people were shot and another victim sustained minor injuries after they were hit by a car “trying to escape the scene,” according to police.
At least 10 people are now being treated at Denver Health after the shooting happened in the 1400 block of West Byers Place early Sunday night, a hospital spokesman told Fox News, although Denver Health is still evaluating to see if that are victims linked to the incident.

As of Monday morning, none of the victims are considered in critical condition, Denver Health said.
Authorities responded to the incident shortly after receiving multiple reports of shots being fired in the area at 4:30 p.m., Denver police told Fox News, adding that a family type of meeting appeared to be taking place at the time.
“It sounds like it was just a family reunion,” Denver police spokeswoman Tyrone Campbell told the Post. “The parties in the park, based on our information, have no guilt at all in this. They are considered victims. ”
After the gun, lawn chairs were seen overturned while food and drink were still sitting on picnic tables, according to the Post. Witnesses also told the outlet that after hearing the gunfire, they saw people fleeing the area.
Another witness told FOX31 that he saw two people walking in an ambulance, including one person who was shot in both legs.
“We will ask anyone who has information to come forward,” Campbell told FOX31. “Right now we have researchers who will be on the scene, who will be looking for people who saw something, people who heard something.”
Anyone with information is asked to call Metro Denver Crimestoppers at (720) 913-7867.
