Bob Friel, a spokesman with the Aurora Police Department, says it appears the victim was driving on Exposition Avenue near Expo Park around 9 p.m. when someone fired a gun at him.

When police arrived, they found a man with a gunshot wound inside of his vehicle. The man was taken to the hospital and Friel says, as of Tuesday night, he was in critical condition.

Police did not immediately have a description of the suspect.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Aurora Police's Major Crimes Unit at 303-739-6207.

Didn't some guy make a kill dozer and go on a rampage in Colorado a couple of years ago? I ain't ever heard of that happening in NYC or LA.

On the street where I live someone got caught calling their ebook reading device a liseuse - which is about the baddest thing you can do round these parts.

Is that a Capital Offense or just civil?

Did the police make him fill out an accident report?

Well, in a way, the latter. They got the thread closed on which he was indulging his penchant for talking about his liseuse!
