DENVER (AP) - Denver police are still searching for the person who shot and killed a policewoman at a city park where families had gathered for a free weekly jazz concert.

Police arrested a man and charged him with gun possession. But they don't believe he's the shooter.

At least three shots were fired Sunday shortly after the jazz band playing on a lake-side pavilion stage finished. The shots sent waves of people running through park grounds.

Police spokesman Sonny Jackson said the officer was shot in the head and died at a hospital.
