COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) – UPDATE: The shelter-in-place is lifted.
Colorado Springs Police say the shelter-in-place was activated because they believed a possible suspect in a shooting was seen in the area.
Police say the shooting happened on Sunset Road just after 2:00 P.M. on Saturday. Two people were shot and taken to the hospital. The police department describes their injuries as serious but non-life-threatening. The spot where the shooting happened is less than half a mile from where the shelter-in-place went into effect.
Just about an hour later, police say they received information that a potential suspect in that shooting was in the area of 300 Iowa Ave. That’s what led to the large police presence and shelter-in-place.
No arrests have been announced. Police have not said if that information was accurate.
KRDO13 will continue to update this story.
