UPDATE: The Denver District Attorney’s Office on Friday filed criminal charges against Jordan Waddy, the man police shot outside a LoDo bar last weekend morning in an incident that also left six bystanders wounded by police gunfire.
Waddy, 21, was charged with three counts of possession of a weapon by a previous offender and one count of third-degree assault for his actions in the case, DA Beth McCann announced. The gun possession charges are felonies and the assault count is a misdemeanor.
According to accounts from Denver police officials, officers approached Waddy after observing him in an altercation with another man outside the bar. Believing he was carrying a gun, officers confronted Waddy in the middle of the closed street, but he then moved closer to the sidewalk, which was crowded with people exiting bars in the busy downtown nightlife district.
In a probable cause statement, an officer at the scene reported that Waddy “pointed the firearm in their direction.” Three officers subsequently fired a total of seven shots at him. Waddy was wounded as were six other people. Three of the bystanders were seriously injured.
