Two people were shot in the leg at Denver's Civic Center during Saturday's 4/20 pot rally and a third person was grazed by a bullet.
A man and a woman were both shot, said Denver Police spokesman Sonny Jackson. Their injuries are not life-threatening. A juvenile who was grazed by a bullet walked to a nearby hospital.
Police are looking for at least two suspects involved in the shooting. Investigators do not know what sparked the shooting.
Crowds scattered around 5 p.m. when shots were heard Saturday. Miguel Lopez, organizer of the rally, said about 5:20 p.m. that the event is done for the day

Denver police are asking witnesses that fled to come forward with information, Jackson said.
"Everybody fled. That's the problem," Jackson said.

Johnny Lee said he heard the shots during a concert at the rally. He was standing near the theater. He did not hear any shouting or arguments before he heard the shots.
