DENVER — Two suspects are being held on attempted murder charges and a third person is also in custody in connection with a shooting Saturday night that left a woman critically injured. 

According to a release from the Denver Police Department (DPD), officers received a report at around 10:45 p.m. of a shooting that had happened in the westbound lanes of West Colfax Avenue at southbound Interstate 25.

Police said their investigation revealed that someone had fired shots into a vehicle, striking a woman, and took off. She sustained several gunshot wounds and was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries, according to police.
