At Least 10 People Injured In Shooting After Miami Heat's Loss To Denver Nuggets In Game 5

A celebration of the Denver Nuggets winning their first NBA championship turned bad after at least 10 people were shot Monday night.

The incident occurred after the Nuggets defeated the Miami Heat in Game 5 of the NBA Finals in Denver.

"As far as what led up to this altercation that resulted in the shots being fired, that’s still under investigation at this time," a police spokesperson told TMZ Sports. "It did occur in the area where we had largest gathering of folks celebrating during the night."

According to the report, three people are in critical condition while the rest are believed to be non-threatening injuries.

The Nuggets won three straight games in the series to eliminate the Heat. Center Nikola Jokic took home MVP honors. It was the city's first title since the Denver Broncos beat the Carolina Panthers in the 2016 Super Bowl.
