COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — One person was taken to the hospital following a shooting involving police in Colorado Springs Saturday evening.
It happened near the intersection of Delaware Drive and Marion Drive, which is located near The Citadel Mall.
The Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) received a call around 10:00 p.m. on Saturday for an alleged disturbance between a man and a woman.
When police arrived, they found the woman who matched the call's description.
The woman had a knife and began running from the police when they tried to approach her. Police say she threw the knife and continued running.
Police say she got into a CSPD cruiser, and while police were attempting to remove her, she began reaching for a shotgun that was in the car.
As a result, one officer fired at least one round, hitting the woman.
CSPD officers began rendering medical aid until EMS arrived, and she was transferred to a local hospital with at least one gunshot wound.
Police say at their last check-in, she was in serious but stable condition and is expected to survive her injuries.
