Video And Pics After The Jump
A shooting following a concert by Nas, SchoolBoy Q and Flying Lotus at Red Rocks Amphitheatre on Thursday, June 19, left three people wounded.
According to NBC News, the three victims were shot in the parking lot of the venue. They fled the scene in a white SUV, but were found miles away in downtown Denver. Police were called to the scene and all three were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
"We're trying to figure out what happened," Jefferson County Sheriff's Office spokesman Mark Techmeyer, told the Denver Post.

Red Rocks is located ten miles outside of Denver. It and the surrounding areas were shut down for hours while police searched all vehicles looking for the gunman. As of this posting that person has not been found.
SchoolBoy shared a photo with Nas on his Twitter page earlier in the evening.

**UPDATE**
The Denver Post is reporting that Schoolboy Q was a passenger in the SUV being shot at. A man with a rifle opened fire on the vehicle around 10:25 PM Thursday night, June 19.
"We heard more than eight gunshots in a row," said witness Patricio Illanes. "Then saw an SUV take off and we paused for a minute. We didn't hear anyone yelling or anything like," he said. "At the time we were thinking the situation might have been fireworks."
The SUV sped off and kept driving until it was stopped by police. Schoolboy was briefly detained because the SUV ran several red lights and didn't immediately pull over as police pursued them with flashing lights.
Three people in the vehicle were wounded. One was treated and released. The other two remain hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries.
SchoolBoy sent out a tweet saying he was OK.
