Multiple vehicles shot; teen taken into custody in Colorado Springs

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV) – A teenager could be facing charges after gunshots were fired at multiple locations in Colorado Springs Sunday night.

Police were called to South Academy and Hancock Expressway just before 10 on reports of shots fired. The suspects had fled, but responding officers found a vehicle riddled with bullet holes; after tracking down the registered owner, they discovered the vehicle was stolen.

One hour later, officers received another report of shots fired, this time at South Academy and Verde Drive, about a mile and a half from the first scene. Officers recovered several shell casings, and while still investigating the scene, saw a vehicle leaving the area. Officers pulled the vehicle over, discovering a teen behind the wheel, and drugs, two guns and a significant amount of cash in the car.

Officer then received a third report of gunshots.

“A victim called in saying that their car had been shot and that they were just down the street from the [Academy and Verde] call for service,” a CSPD lieutenant said. “Officers learned that suspects had shot the victim’s vehicle numerous times while the victims were in the vehicle. Several of those rounds entered the passenger compartment of the vehicle but none of the victims were struck by gunfire.”

The incident is under investigation.
