COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — Early into an investigation, police in Colorado Springs have reason to believe a woman was shot while trying to help someone.

It isn't clear what led up to the attack, but police tell News5 they received a call for a shooting at about 2:45 a.m. in the area of Cheyenne Boulevard and Cresta Road for a shooting. When officers arrived, they found a woman had been shot. Police tell News5 that she was reportedly helping someone when she was attacked, but it isn't clear if the suspect and victim knew each other.

"The victim was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries," police wrote in their online blotter. "The investigation is ongoing."

No suspect description was provided by police and the last time this article was updated the suspect was still at large.
