Three police officers and an “unknown number of civilians” have been injured in an active shooter situation near a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs on Friday, authorities said.
The situation remained “very active” roughly two hours after it began, police said.
Though Lt. Kirk Wilson, a Colorado Springs police spokesman, told the Colorado Springs Gazette that the shooter had been “contained,” a different police spokesperson, Lt. Catherine Buckley, said it was “very much an active situation.”
“We can’t confirm where the shooter is at at this point,” Buckley told reporters.
The department’s public affairs division said on social media that the situation was “still not stable.”
“At this time, our concern is for the safety of our patients, staff and law enforcement,” said Vicki Cowart, the president and chief executive of Planned Parenthood Rocky Mountain.
Planned Parenthood declined to say whether the shooting happened at or near the health center.
The Colorado Springs Fire Department said on Twitter that an active shooter was reported at the clinic on Centennial Boulevard shortly before noon local time. Buckley, the police spokeswoman, said the original call came from the Planned Parenthood health center.
ATF special agents were among those who responded to the scene. Deborah Sherman of the FBI’s Denver field office said local authorities had not yet requested the agency’s assistance.
