Who the FUCK brings a gun to a 420 party? I'm thinking this is wanna be gangster bullshit. I can't believe this. Shit like this is going to ruin it for all of us. That's why I don't support these fucking events. Think about it, some super crazy religious person could show up and just shoot in the fucking air and it would make us all look bad! Chime in people. This is going on right now.

Right, because the marijuana industry is filled with preppy aristocratic neophytes who sing a dandy and carry a tune.

Dude. Its pot. Of course thugs will be there. This is the USA, we are gangster. Don't you know?

I was there. It was epic. I was around the outskirts of the crowd taking pictures, and there were 4 shots. Then suddenly the ENTIRE CROWD was mobile, everyone started running at once. At first I was thinking "That was NOT gun shots" then I was just like FUCK I NEED TO GET THE FUCK OUT. I have a video of like 10 minutes before the shooting, and pictures of the crowd before running, and flooding the streets after evacuating the capitol.

I think all the trolls that threatened to do something to me at the rally are more suspect. Plus, if I had done it wouldn't ANYONE there have been able to testify "it was the Facebook guy".

DENVER - Police are searching for the two suspects who fired shots during the 4/20 pot rally in Denver's Civic Center Park on Saturday, injuring three people and causing thousands of people enjoying the jovial festivities to flee in panic.
A man and woman, between 20 and 30 years old, were shot in the leg, Denver police tweeted. Their injuries were considered non life-threatening.
A third victim, a juvenile, was grazed by a bullet and walked into a nearby hospital, police tweeted.
A dog, belonging to one of the victims, also appeared to have been grazed or shot and was seen limping from the scene. Several other people appeared to have suffered some minor injuries from running or being trampled, according to witnesses.
Police asked those attending the rally for possible photo or video of the shootings, and had no immediate motive for the shooting.
AIRTRACKER7 was over the area at the time of the shooting and streamed video of thousands of people running and one man on the ground, surrounded by police officers. Several police motorcycles were parked nearby and paramedics arrived a few moments later to transport the man to Denver Health.
7NEWS reporter Russell Haythorn said he heard "four to five shots fired" at about 5:02 p.m. and the ambulances arrived while he was live in the 5 p.m. newscast.
Kyle, a witness who was next to the stage when the shots were fired, said, "lots of people had different ideas of what was happening. Some people were yelling 'Explosion!' some people were yelling, 'Gunshots!' We couldn't really find if it was coming from the stage or from the side because there were just so many people literally just running at people."
"We were standing in the center over there, they just started shooting," a witness in Broncos clothing told Haythorn.
"Did you see anything?" Haythorn asked.
"I didn't see it, but I could hear 'boom, boom, boom,' and I could see everybody just trampling and running," the witness responded.
Cody Crouch, the camera operator aboard AIRTRACKER7, tweeted, "I saw thousands running away from the south theater area."
"I saw him fall, grabbing his leg," said Travis Craig, 28, who was at the celebration, saw the shooting and said he used a belt to apply a tourniquet to the man's leg.

"He was just screaming that he was in pain, and wanted to know where his girlfriend was. She was OK. And then the cops showed up real quick, like, less than a minute. They put him on ambulance and left."

A large number of police officers were already at the downtown Denver park watching the marijuana rally, the first since the state legalized pot.
Denver police had said they were there to monitor crowd control and crowd security in light of the attack at the Boston Marathon. Denver police said its officers were not there to arrest anyone for public pot smoking, which is still illegal.
Police now say they are looking for two men. They described the first suspect as a light complexioned black man, about 6 feet tall and weighing about 180 pounds. He was wearing a gray hoodie, black pants and a Carolina blue baseball cap.
The second suspect was a black male in a checkered black and white shirt. Police spokesman Sonny Jackson didn't have a description of that suspect's height and weight.
Denver police closed multiple roads including Colfax at Bannock, 13th at Bannock, 14th at Bannock and Colfax at Delaware.
The shooting meant the cancellation of all 4/20 pot-related events at Civic Center Park for the weekend and the permit for the rally organizers has been revoked. The decision was mutual between both parties -- Park and Recreation officials and the organizers of the rally, the city said.
“Our top priority is public safety,” said Lauri Dannemiller, manager of Denver Parks and Recreation. “We’ve met with the event organizers and we’re all in agreement that out of respect for the individuals that were injured and to allow Denver Police the ability to conduct a thorough investigation, events should be canceled for the remainder of the weekend.”
The rally was expected to draw 80,000 but it did not seem as packed as it had in years past, when it drew 50,000 people. Another marijuana-related event, the High Times Cannibus Cup was also held in Denver -- the first time the event has been held outside of Amerstam.

Stephanie Riedel, who traveled to the pot celebration from Pittsburgh, said she was dancing with a hula hoop when she heard pops. A man ran past her, then she said the crowd started screaming and running away. She was about 20 feet from the shooting and heard four or five shots.
"I couldn't make sense of what it was at first," she said. "We were all having a good time and I was in the mindframe of, we're here at a peace gathering. I thought it some guys playing."

Rapper Lil' Flip was performing when the shootings occurred.

Before the shooting, reggae music filled the air, and so did the smell of marijuana, as celebrants gathered by mid-morning in the park just beside the state Capitol.

Group smoke-outs were planned Saturday from New York to San Francisco. The origins of the number "420" as a code for pot are murky, but the drug's users have for decades marked the date 4/20 as a day to use pot together.

A few minutes after the shooting, the helicopter had to leave the park because of a temporary flight restriction related to the Rockies game.
