Doctor Slain in Denver Lounge After Argument
A 28 year old Marine veteran Ronald Smith was held without charges after fatally shooting Dr James Mullen and wounding Roy Green and Philip Van Slyck at the Brown Palace Hotel bar in Denver. Witnesses restrained Smith as patrons fled the crowded lounge during the exchange. Smith had driven to Denver for a medical checkup and returned after briefly leaving.
