Blakely became involved in a confrontation with one of the other suspects, whose gunfire caused several injuries. Blakely is accused of escalating the situation before firing shots that also hit multiple people.
Police initially suspected the shootout happened over a drug deal. The third arrestee is accused of unlawful possession of a firearm.
None of the victims suffered what appear to be life-threatening wounds.

Officials also said a police officer was seriously injured after being struck by a firetruck carrying Nuggets players past waving fans.
