COLORADO SPRINGS — Colorado Springs police have confirmed they are investigating a shooting that happened outside the Citadel Mall.

Around 4 p.m. Thursday several people called the police to report a possible drive-by shooting in the parking lot, near the entrance to the Hooters restaurant.

When they arrived officers found a man with a gunshot wound to his upper body. He was taken to the hospital, but his current condition is not known.
