Police are investigating a shooting in southeast Colorado Springs that left one person seriously injured early Sunday.

The incident took place at the Astrozon Plaza shopping center, near the intersection of Astrozon and South Academy boulevards. Officers were called to that location just after 3 a.m. to investigate a “verbal and physical disturbance” between several people, some of whom were reportedly armed, police said.

While police were interviewing people involved in the altercation, they heard gunshots nearby. Police stopped a car on its way out of the parking lot and saw that one of its occupants had a gunshot wound. The victim, whose name was not released, was taken to a nearby hospital with “serious, life-threatening injuries,” officials said.

Officers also stopped a second vehicle that was trying to leave the parking lot. After detaining and interviewing the vehicle’s occupants, police arrested two of them for attempted murder. The suspects’ names were not released.

Anyone with information that could assist this ongoing investigation is asked to contact the Colorado Springs Police Department’s non-emergency number, (719) 444-7000. Callers who wish to remain anonymous may contact the Crime Stoppers tip line at (719) 634-STOP [7867] or (800) 222-8477.
