DENVER — An 11-year-old girl and a woman were killed by a single bullet fired into a home from hundreds of yards away early Tuesday, possibly by a New Year's reveler, police said.
Police spokesman Sonny Jackson said the bizarre shooting, which came shortly after midnight, may have been accidental. No arrests had been made, but investigators said they did not believe a sniper was on the loose.

The victims' names had not been released. It wasn't immediately known if they were related.
Police said the pair were at a party with about 10 other people when at least one shot was fired from up to 300 yards away, possibly from across a park next to the home. Jackson said one bullet went through the front wall of the house, passed through the head of the woman, who was seated, and struck the girl in the side.
Jackson said investigators traced the trajectory of the shot to determine that the single bullet killed both victims.
A second bullet was found in a snowbank in front of the home.
The woman died at the scene and the girl was pronounced dead at a hospital.
