Colorado Springs police are investigating a shooting that left multiple people injured in Memorial Park Friday night.
At approximately 8:32 p.m. Friday, officers were dispatched to a reported shooting at Memorial Park. When they arrived, officers found a group of about 50 people who gathered in the park for a candlelight vigil to honor a woman who had recently passed away.
According to police, a vehicle had driven by the vigil, shooting several rounds into the crowd. Three men were struck by gunfire. Two of the male victims were taken to local hospitals and the third victim drove himself to a hospital.
The death of the woman who was being honored during the vigil does not appear to have any connection to the drive-by shooting.
