COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — A shelter-in-place order was issued for a neighborhood in Colorado Springs on Thursday morning.
The neighborhood area is located in the Old Colorado City district, just west of Midland Elementary School, and includes part of Broadway Street.
The shelter-in-place order was lifted at 8:00 a.m., and the Colorado Springs Police Department says a suspect is in custody without incident for the illegal discharge of a firearm.
Police say the suspect, who was a resident of the home, was reported to have shot at his vehicle on his property. The suspect further called in the shots fired call to police. Through de-escalation tactics, they were able to get the man to comply without incident.
