COLORADO SPRINGS: At least three people were dead while nine others sustains injuries when a gunman opened fire at a family planning center in Colorado in a standoff that dragged on for five hours Friday before he surrendered.
The police did not immediately identify the suspect or describe his motives. For hours on Friday, officers traded gunfire with the gunman inside the building before they were able to shout to him and persuade him to give up, according to Lt. Catherine Buckley, a police spokeswoman.
There were no known fatalities but five police officers were among the wounded, police and officials in Colorado Springs said.
It was not immediately clear if the family planning center had been specifically targeted.
