Two injured in shooting outside Walgreens in Old Colorado City

Two people were injured in a shooting outside a Walgreens in Old Colorado City, according to the Colorado Springs Police Department.

The shooting, initially reported as an active shooter situation, occurred after an argument between the two people, according to an X post from the department.

Sunday at 1:30 p.m., the Colorado Springs Police Department received a call about an active shooter at a Walgreens in the 3100 block of West Colorado Avenue, according to the department.

When officers arrived, they found a person with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound outside the Walgreens. Several people reported that a potential suspect was still in the store. Officers asked residents of nearby businesses to shelter in place and called the tactical unit. Officers then entered the store and escorted a woman, who had sheltered in place, to safety, according to the post.

The Tactical Enforcement Unit and police searched the store and did not find the suspect. Around the same time, a second person with a gunshot wound arrived at a local hospital, the post said.

CSPD later determined that the shooting occurred after an argument between the two injured individuals and that it was not an active shooter situation, according to the department.

The incident remains under investigation by the CSPD Assault Unit.
