2 adults, 3 juveniles shot at gas station in Colorado Springs
Five people, two adults and three juveniles, were shot at a gas station in Colorado Springs on Tuesday night. Colorado Springs police officers rushed to the Conoco gas station at Potter Drive and Palmer Park Boulevard just after 7 p.m. Tuesday.
When officers arrived, they found those struck with what has been described as "an immense number of rounds discharged" during the incident. Five people were rushed to the hospital with injuries, including at least one who was a bystander who was not involved in the confrontation.
Police said that a physical fight broke out between two groups of people before shots were fired and that it was "an agreed-upon confrontation."
"I get my medical kit and ask if anyone has been shot. They said no at first, and then I heard a few people say, 'I'm shot I'm shot.' So I opened my medical kit and grabbed whatever I could," said one man who helped victims at the scene.
No suspects have been identified as of Wednesday morning.
According to police, "this is still an active investigation and anyone with information or who is a witness to this investigation is asked to call the Colorado Springs Police Department at (719) 444-7000; or if you wish to remain anonymous, you may call the Crime Stoppers Tip Line at (719) 634-STOP (7867) or 1-800-222-8477."
