Shooting at Colorado Airbnb Rental Party Leaves 3 Injured, Prompts crackdown on 'Party Houses'

A shooting occurred at a house party in a short-term rental in Adams County, Colorado, injuring 3 people.

The Adams County Sheriff's Office arrested 2 people for the shooting at the birthday party.

Airbnb appeared to remove the rental listing after the shooting. The home was listed to accommodate 10 people.

Airbnb announced a new AI tool to identify and prevent high-risk one night bookings of entire homes for parties.

Airbnb says party rentals increased in 2020 during the pandemic when bars were closed. In 2020, 7,500 users were suspended for violating Airbnb's no party policy.
