COLORADO SPRINGS — A shooting on Saturday night in southeast Colorado Springs ended with the initial shooter in the hospital after he was run over with a truck by the people he was targeting, police say.

Colorado Springs Police received a call around 6 P.M. Saturday about reports of a shooting in the 2500 block of Astrozon Circle.

Officers arrived at the scene and found out that 18-year-old Estevan Pachecho fired several shots into a house with people in it. Police say Pachecho knew the residents of the home he shot into, and they shot back at Pachecho.
