CNN is reporting that nine people have been taken to the hospital.
Multiple shootings and a stabbing have been reported at the Denver Coliseum Saturday afternoon.
Police spokesman Sonny Jackson said at least two people were shot and one was stabbed shortly after 1 p.m.
He did not release any information about the severity of their injuries.
Denver Health tweeted shortly before 2 p.m. that nine people had been transported to area hospitals.
The Colorado Motorcycle Expo is being held this weekend at the Coliseum on the National Western Stockshow complex, 4600 Humboldt St.
One witness, who asked to remain anonymous out of fear of retaliation, said the feud was started by rival biker gangs.

Clearly, that guy is a Jade Helm operative.
Many of the people leaving are angry about the show being closed. They want to go back inside.
