Gunman attacks Colorado abortion clinic - leaves 3 dead, 9 wounded


Another case of a gunman attacking innocent civilians has been revealed in Colorado Springs - police have arrested the gunman who had stormed a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in Colorado Springs and opened fire with a rifle. The attack left three people dead and nine others injured. The dead included one police officer and two civilians. This has been informed by Colorado Springs Police Chief an hour after the suspect had been captured.
This has been reported in zeenews.india.com dated 28 November 2015.
The nine surviving victims consisting of five police officers and four civilians are reported to be out of danger and in good condition at area hospitals.
It seems the suspect had first engaged in a protracted gun battle with police but ultimately surrendered to officers inside the building about five hours after the start of the violence.
Incidentally, the Colorado Springs clinic has been the target of repeated protests by anti-abortion activists. As a result, it had shifted to new quarters on the city`s northwest side. This facility had been derided as a "fortress" by critics of Planned Parenthood.
The police have accepted that fact that progress in securing the building was slowed down because the gunman had brought "some bags" with him into the clinic and left several items outside. All of these had to be checked out for possible booby traps or explosives.
