There was a shooting last night at the Funky Buddha at about 4 a.m. (after it closed). Details are sketchy, but apparently someone in the popular Denver, Colorado lounge, about half a block from my office, shot an after hours intruder. Police tape now bars the entrance and the glass in the front door appears to be gone. (There was also a drug bust gone bad at 14th and Pennsylvania last night, also in the Capital Hill neighborhood, that resulted in a shoot out).
The shock was enhanced for me by the fact that I was having lunch at Scooter Joe's, two doors down from the Lounge, when I heard the news. (Incidentally, while the TV at Scooter Joe's was tuned to 9 News, the story got on the website of Denver's Channel 4 first.)
I will not be commenting further on this case other than to provide further links about the story if they come up. At the time this post was made, the only information I had concerning the case came from TV news stations.
