Part of downtown Denver was shut down, for part of Thursday, due to a shooting at Civic Center Park.
The shooting occurred along Colfax Avenue, between Broadway and Lincoln Street, less than a block from the capitol building.
Witnesses say that a man was walking along Colfax when a man on the other side of the street fired two shots at him.
The first man then pulled a gun and responded with four shots of his own.
Police quickly responded before more shots could be fired or anyone could be hurt.
At the time of the shooting, dozens of people were in the park, eating lunch and enjoying the weather.
They arrested both shooters and a third man, though it is unclear at this time why the third arrest was made.
For a short time the surrounding area, including the capitol, were placed on lock down, but it was lifted as quickly as possible.
