An off-campus party at the University of Colorado in Boulder lasted from the daytime hours well into Saturday evening, resulting in a police response reportedly including a municipal SWAT team, before a crowd estimated as high as 800 people was dispersed.

Local media accounts noted that the crowd, believed to comprise mostly students at the state’s flagship university, flouted social distancing and face masking.
