The latest known information on the shootings at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs, Colorado:
At approximately 11:38am local time, Colorado Springs officers responded to reports of a shooter at the Planned Parenthood offices on Centennial Boulevard. At least three officers were wounded by the gunman as they responded to the scene. The suspect continued to fire at officers from a position inside the Planned Parenthood clinic during the resulting five-hour standoff.
The suspect surrendered at 4:52pm local time after responding to vocal orders from police inside the building; he is now in custody. Nine victims were transported to local hospitals and are in “good condition at this time.”
Police spokesperson Lt. Catherine Buckley has confirmed that two civilians have died at the scene. A University of Colorado at Colorado Springs officer who responded to the call for assistance has also died; three Colorado Springs police officers were also injured, as well as one El Paso County deputy sheriff.
A Planned Parenthood official now says she believes all staff and patients are now accounted for and that none were severely injured.
The gunman brought additional "items" with him to the clinic; those items are being treated as possible explosives, requiring extra caution as officers work to secure the scene. Police are now shuttling the employees and patrons of nearby businesses trapped in those businesses since noon under shelter-in-place orders back out of the area.
