COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV) – A man is waking up in jail Sunday morning after Springs police say he fired multiple shots from his apartment.
Officers were called to a complex on Westmeadow Drive just after 9:20 Saturday night on reports of gunshots. The area is just south of Cheyenne Meadows Road on the southwest side of the city.
“Multiple officers responded. Officer Lofgren arrived on scene first and started checking the area and found multiple bullet holes exiting from an upper apartment,” the Colorado Springs Police Department said.
The door to the unit was open and police saw a man still inside. He was taken into custody and has since been identified as Robert Schoendorf. Online records indicate Schoendorf is still in the El Paso County jail as of early Sunday morning.
Officers then searched the apartment, finding no other occupants — but recovering several guns, CSPD said.
“The suspect acknowledged firing the rounds out of his apartment. Fortunately, no one was injured and property damaged was limited to the suspect’s apartment,” the police department said.
It’s unknown if alcohol played any part in the incident.
