Denver Post online news producer Daniel Schneider is reporting that two people were shot at Denver’s annual 4/20 pro-pot rally, which is held in the city’s Civic Center Park. Tweets from others at or near the scene seem to confirm a loud noise and some panic, although injuries have not yet been confirmed.

Crowds scattered about 5 p.m. when shots were heard in Denver’s Civic Center. As the 420 rally was ending. Approx 80000 people there
