COLORADO SPRINGS — A Thursday morning shooting on Colorado Springs' southwestern side of town is under investigation according to police.
Police confirmed with News5 they received a call for service around 6:40 a.m. for reports of a shooting along Norwood Avenue just south of Meadows Park near the Stratton Meadows area.
Police tell News5 this appears to be an attempted robbery that went wrong. They say a woman came out to leave for her day when she was approached by a man who demanded she give him some of her items.
She refused and the police say that man shot her. The woman was taken to a hospital and police said she suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
No arrests have been made as of Thursday morning and police are investigating. Police say initial reports are that a Hispanic male was involved but have not released any other information about them.
According to our crew who was on scene, Norwood Avenue is blocked off and a house has crime scene tape around the front yard.
This is a developing story and will be updated as more information is released.
