COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — The Colorado Springs Police Department is investigating a shooting that sent six people to the hospital Saturday night.
The call for shots fired sent police to the 1400 block of Potter Drive, near Mitchell High School.
Police say six people were injured, four taken to the hospital in an ambulance, and two others took themselves to the hospital.
Currently, five victims are in stable condition while one person is in critical condition.
The early investigation shows the shooting started with an argument that escalated. CSPD doesn't know yet how many people were firing, but found a lot of shell casings and signs that multiple people were carrying guns.
