Colorado Springs Police Respond to Reports of Shooting in Old Colorado City

COLORADO SPRINGS – On Sunday, June 16, at approximately 6:30 p.m., Colorado Springs Police officers responded to reports of a shooting at 3134 W Colorado Ave.

According to CSPD spokeswoman Ira Cronin, CSPD officers responded to a report of an active shooter around 1:30 p.m.

When officers arrived at the scene, they found a person with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound in front of the Walgreens store.

Several people in the area alerted CSPD officers that a possible suspect was still inside the store.

Officers immediately urged people nearby to remain safe while they waited for the tactical unit to respond.

Patrol officers entered the store and discovered a person seeking shelter inside the Walgreens store. He was escorted to safety.

Members of the Tactical Enforcement Unit arrived and searched the store along with officers.

The second person involved was later taken to a local hospital with a life-threatening gunshot wound.
