Just received an alert from my scanner app on my phone which I have never had happened before. Says just as posted above multiple shooting at Red rocks. Live feed here: http://www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/4269/web
Suspect allegedly dressed in all black carrying an "assult rifle" on the loose near the trading post
Dispatch lady talking about searching all the vehicles as they leave. She actually said, "We'll have to search all the vehicles.....LEGALLY."

An "assist" rifle? Damn...those are probably even more high-powered and deadly than "an assault rifle".

Oh boy, here we go... Dowling said. "Guns are too common of news items these days."

Yup I just read that too. [facepalm]
An "assist" rifle.
Better get one before the Ban.

Well glad you guys got a laugh out of it. Using a cell phone with auto correct has driven me completely insane so maybe I should include a disclaimer in my signature from now on.

That does read pretty funny though did not even catch that last night.

Well the incident did not shut down red rocks another show scheduled for tonight. Do not know if it's the same artists as last night or not. Was reading some of the kids tweets last night and it sure is sad to see people scared to even go to another show now. Not the concert going days I remember at red rocks growing up that's for sure.
Twitter feed from last night: http://www.reddit.com/r/hiphopheads/comments/28mboe/attempted_shooting_of_schoolboy_q_at_red_rocks/
The article makes it seem very targeted...Gang related?

At a rap hip/hop show? No way...not possible. That kind of music community has no connection to violence.
Stereotyping an entire community of people based on one persons actions makes you look ignorant.
Liberals do it to gun owners all the time.

Not enough info currently out to make any determination yet.
"I'm backstage; we're on lockdown waiting to leave," said Faithon Lucas, the promoter of the concert, which, among other causes, was a benefit for GRASP, a gang-rescue and support project sponsored by the Metro Denver Partners.
Guess that didn't really pan out like they thought.

Since the majority of rappers make their money rapping about violence I don't consider it sterotyping.

Your right. Its all that evil rap music and violent video games that guy probably listened to/played that caused him to shoot up that car. Not the fact that he was a criminal, that couldn't be it..
/sarcasm
Maybe it was part of the show.

We are talking about the music COMMUNITY, not just the artists themselves. Do you realize how many people, not affiliated with any criminal activity (including myself), listen to rap music?

Hey now, why use reason and common sense when you could just stereotype an entire group of people based on one persons actions. And then blame the violence on an inanimate object, guns, video games, music etc.
Those tactics are on the first page of the liberal gun control handbook.

I listen to rap music regularly but you'd be a fool to try to say as a lifestyle hip-hop & rap doesn't glamorize crime. I also don't see this sort of thing happening at a Sarah Mclaughlin performance at Red Rocks.

Its entertainment.
Just like Sarah McLaughlin, country, metal, screamo, and what ever other music trends are out there. Some people just cant accept it for what it is, entertainment.

The only reason this is news is because he used an "assault rifle" to commit his crime. If he had stabbed 3 people with a box of #2 pencils this would be on page 3.

You'd also be a fool to live your lifestyle based on the music you listen to. I'm willing to bet, most of the people listening to rap music aren't gang banging. Just like I'm willing to bet the majority of people that listen to country don't know the first thing about living in the country.

I listen to country and I live in Edgewater. I also don't own Cowboy boots and a hat. But I do own guns!

What did this "search" amount to anyway?
Looking at IDs, shining flashlight into the car, asking if you saw anything suspicious? What else could they do without a specific warrant?

Yup, I listen to country and rap (and pretty much everything else), but I bet anyone who has met me, wouldn't peg me for either genre.

They were saying on the radio this morning that every car was searched. Stating many people didn't leave till after 4:00am.
be interesting how the legally owned firearms were handled, if in fact, they were searched.
Proverbs 22:24-25(DRA)
24 Be not a friend to an angry man, and do not walk with a furious man:
25 Lest perhaps thou learn his ways, and take scandal to thy soul.
I'll stick with the Blues for my entertainment.
There were no arrests at last week's Tab Benoit concert at Stargazers.
Come to think of it, no issues when seeing Keb' Mo', Buddy Guy, or even Kenny Wayne Shepherd last year.
To each there own.

How could they have probable cause to actually "search" every car leaving the venue?
I have no problems with them doing a quick ID check and asking for witnesses , and doing a plain view flashlight assessment to see if somebody is hiding behind your backseat under that old blanket.

Who says that I do? That doesn't mean that LOTS of people do though. Crime happens at hip-hop/rap concerts at a much higher rate than those like I mentioned or similar and this is why I don't attend them just like I don't walk down dark alleys in bad parts of Detroit. The lifestyle that surrounds each music type is what it is and you can't glorify crime for decades and not expect there to be more crime at the concerts where said music is performed. That's just life.

Hopefully that gets properly addressed in court. Using some specific new technologies, such as the active tracking beacon, should decrease the infringement of innocent's rights, not increase it.

I'm well aware Jer, that you do not live the life style of a gang banger, you are vocal enough on the forums for me to see that.
Now let's not get off track, and twist the discussion into something it never was. I never said crime cannot be associated with rap music, in fact I'd go as far to say rap probably has the closest connection to crime out of any genre. My argument is against the comment making a blanket statement against everyone that listens to rap music.
For every one person that listens to rap and gang bangs, there are probably ten who do not gang bang (this is just a random number to be used as an example).
I'll say it sounds gang related... That sort of gang typically listens to rap, not a stereotype, just truth. Similar to the Sons of Silence I saw at David Allen Coe years back. Urban youth gangs comprise a very large majority of those with a propensity for violence. More stabbings and shootings occur in vicinity to rap/hip hop shows than any other type of concert. It is what it is. Aside from just not liking the music, the folks in attendance and their attitude is why I choose not to attend these events.

Damn, just now hearing about this. My buddies wife hit me up yesterday AM asking if I wanted to buy her ticket because she had too much school work to go. Her husband and 3 of my other close friends were going. I declined because I don't like the hippity hop. Gonna call one and see how it was.

I think we're saying the same thing and I don't subscribe to the idea that anyone who listens to hip-hop/rap music is a thug gang banger if someone in this thread made that statement. That being said, you tell me that shots were fired at a NAS concert and I'm not even wasting the time to research the 'facts' to determine if that's accurate or not.
The article that I read stated that there were 3 gunshot victims, all in a white SUV that the Denver Police stopped at 6th and Kalamath. They transported them to Denver Health. They were all alive.
They're still trying to figure out what's going on.

Intetesting... so the rumors confirmed. Just reported that rap musician schoolboy was actually targeted in the shooting.
http://www.9news.com/story/news/local/2014/06/20/report-of-shooting-at-red-rocks/11033715/
What baffles me is how someone could enter the park, hide in the bushes with a rifle, get multiple shots off and then just disappear?

Not everyone uses the roads to get into and out of the park. Back in high school, friends and I spent many hours after midnight wandering around in the "closed" areas. No significant fences, just terrain to keep people on the paths.
