Four police officers and an unknown number of civilians have been hurt in an "active shooter" incident in the US city of Colorado Springs, police say. A man involved in an exchange of fire inside a birth control clinic in the US city of Colorado Springs is in custody, the mayor says.
Officers were exchanging fire with a gunman inside a Planned Parenthood clinic, police Lt Catherine Buckley said. Mayor John Suthers said the situation at the Planned Parenthood clinic had now been resolved.
It was unclear if hostages had been taken, she said. At least six people, four of them police officers, were wounded.
The city's Penrose hospital said it had received six patients, but did not say whether they were civilians or police. Earlier, Lt Catherine Buckley said the suspect had taken some items into the building with him but the nature of them was not known.
The situation was still active and roads were closed, the city's police said in a tweet. The authorities say the motive for the attack is unclear.
"We do not have the shooter at this point but we do have all of our resources brought to bear," Lt Buckley told local TV. All roads around the area were closed, the city's police said in a tweet.
