Two revelers celebrating the marijuana holiday “4/20″ were shot as rapper Lil Flip performed at a show in Denver, Colorado.
Thousands had gathered in Civic Center Park in Denver to celebrate, since marijuana has been legalized in Colorado.
Around 5:00pm, witnesses reported hearing four or five shots and a man, his dog and a woman were struck, as Lil Flip performed, according to reports.

She was OK. And then the cops showed up real quick, like, less than a minute. They put him on ambulance and left.”
The police presence was heavy due to the 80,000 attendees who were expected to attend the weekend celebration.
“I am just grateful that no one was seriously hurt…,” Lil Flip tweeted.
Police are seeking two suspects in the shooting, which was captured on aerial footage.
