O.M.G.

This is one block over from where I live.

Wow, I must have slept like a rock because I didn't hear any gunshot or ambulances.

Freaky.

That's the second time someone has been shot in/by Funky Buddha.

Attempted armed robbery caught on tape

'DENVER – A nearby surveillance camera was rolling as a couple walking downtown early Wednesday morning was approached by two armed robbers.

Denver Police say the 20-year-old woman and 31-year-old man had just left the 7-Eleven near 8th and North Lincoln Street at around 2:20 a.m. Surveillance video shows they were walking northbound near the Funky Buddha bar when the two robbers approached wearing ski masks. They demanded the woman's purse, but she thought it was a joke.

"It appears they didn't give the money quick enough, because one of the men pulled out a gun and shot them," said Sonny Jackson of the Denver Police Department.

The woman was hit in the left leg. The man was shot in the torso. He managed to run for help as the woman collapsed.

The would-be robbers left without taking anything.

"It is alarming to us, anytime you have a strong-arm robbery on the streets and somebody gets shot, just for no reason," said Jackson

Jackson says the robbers were both black men wearing baseball caps.

"One of them appears to (have been) wearing a New York Yankees baseball hat, the other had on a black and white baseball hat."

The victims estimated both men were anywhere from 22 to 29 years old. They said one of the men was about 6 feet 3 inches tall and the other was about 5 feet 11 inches tall.

The family of the woman who was shot is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the suspects. They say they are confident that "both physical and emotional healing, as well as peace of mind, will take place."'
