As of 4:10 a.m. Tuesday, three gunshot victims are in critical condition. The remaining victims, including the shooter, are believed to have non-life-threatening injuries, police said.

"This is a complex, ongoing investigation in its early stages. Preliminary info indicates multiple shots were fired during an altercation involving several individuals. Updates will be provided as they become available," Denver police tweeted.

Schepman said authorities took the suspect in custody "pretty quickly" due to the large police presence in the area.
