US CO: Shots Fired At Colo. Pot Holiday Gathering

Tulsa World, 21 Apr 2013 – DENVER (AP) – Gunfire erupted at a Denver park Saturday, injuring two people and sending tens of thousands gathered for an annual pot celebration fleeing the area, police said. A crowd of marijuana smokers expected to swell to 80,000 had gathered at the park to mark the counterculture holiday known as 4/20 on the first celebration since Colorado and Washington made pot legal for recreational use. The shooting happened at about 5 p.m., shortly after pot smokers shared hugs and joints in a mass 4:20 p.m. smoke-out.
