Broncos wide receiver shot, treated for minor injuries

‘Josh Reynolds was a victim of a shooting on Friday in Denver and received treatment for minor injuries,’ the Broncos said in a statement. ‘Out of respect for the legal process, we will defer further comment on this matter to the authorities.’

Reynolds, an eight-year NFL veteran, is currently on injured reserve with a broken finger. The Denver Post reported that Reynolds has been at the team facility each of the past two days to do rehab work.

The Denver Police Department did not identify Reynolds or the other victims of last week’s shooting, though it said in a news release that it had identified two suspects: Burr Charlesworth, 42, and Luis Mendoza, 35. The police department said the arrest reports for the two men, who are being investigated for attempted murder, would be kept under seal, citing the ongoing nature of the investigation.
