Is this the same event where firefighters responding to a medical call were turned away by two men with a shotgun? I only ask because it seems to be in the same area.

No, this is not the same incident, though it is in the same area. That is a moderately high crime area in the city.

Ok thanks. The location made me curious. I take it that area is highly populated with Hispanics then?

I believe that section of town is referred to as the "knife and gun club". I don't go there at all, especially after dark. Puts a black eye on an otherwise pretty safe city....

Is there an area of Colorado (or the US for that matter) that isnt?

Wow...why would you ask something like that?

And...No.

That area is considered South East and there is a lot of gang problems in that area. It's a mixture of all different races. Everything past Academy and Pikes Peak is Considered North.
