THORNTON, Colo — A man who was shot early Sunday outside a restaurant in Thornton was expected to survive his injuries, according to the Thornton Police Department (TPD).
The shooting happened at 1:43 a.m. outside Mambo's Cafe, at 790 W. 84th Ave., just west of Interstate 25.

The victim was taken to a hospital and was undergoing surgery on Sunday morning, according to police.
TPD has not released any suspect information.
