Madison stood out in this way, too: I could not find one word spoken against her - a rare phenomenon in politics.Įven before her death brought out the accolades, politicians of all persuasions praised Madison’s kindness and generosity. He added, “There is and never was anyone like her.” Her approach to policy, said Governor John Hickenlooper, was “thoughtful and pragmatic.” “Once she wore c at ears to a meeting!”īut representing her district was no joke to Madison, who worked 16-hour days and cared deeply about health care, historic preservation and zoning. “We all looked forward to seeing what she would have on,” said a colleague, recalling Madison’s outrageous headgear. Nor - beaming at all and sundry as she dashed about town on her orange scooter - did she act like one.
With her bright orange hair and costume-like outfits, Madison didn’t look like a politician. How Carla Madison - City Council representative for District 8 from 2007 until her death in 2011 - would have loved it!

Although this event occurred after school was released, if your student shares with you any need for additional support, please contact Lindsey Vesceri at contact the front office and they will connect you with support. DPS Safety and Security placed our campus on a secure status and it remained safe during the duration of the incident. We would like to make you aware an incident took place off campus at the Carla Madison Rec Center this afternoon after school had been released. "Denver East Students, Parents, and Community, Late Wednesday East High School Principal Terita Walker released the following statement to the community saying: The extent of their injuries still unknown. "There were a couple of girls that knew him, they were calling his mother and were pretty frantic on the phone just a lot of students," Martinez said.ĭenver police said the two juvenile males who were hurt in the shooting were rushed to the hospital. A backpack, shoe, and clothing were taped off as part of the crime scene. Many of the students' belonging were left behind at the scene.
Other students started running from the area, looking for safety. "The boy we were helping got shot in the face, right here… there was no exit wound, but he couldn't really talk, but was coherent." "I was actually the one holding pressure on the kid until the paramedics got there," said Martinez. Moments later she and her colleagues saw a boy fall to the ground. Martinez said two teen males were fighting right before the shooting. Martinez was feet away when several shots rang out around 4 p.m. "I mean I was a little shaken up because that's just not something you see every day."
"Just a lot of chaos," Martinez told CBS News Colorado. She said this was not the way she imagined her afternoon would play out. Martinez said dozens of students were gathered outside of the facility. Shellie Martinez, who's a barber and stylist at the Hollywood Barber Shop, was cutting hair just across the street from the recreation center when it all unfolded. A witness described the moment a shooting rang out outside of the Carla Madison Recreation Center on Wednesday afternoon, just about half a block away from East High School.
