3 KILLED, 9 INJURED IN ATTACK ON COLORADO ABORTION CLINIC


COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. U.S.A. - A gunman stormed a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in Colorado Springs on Friday and opened fire with a rifle in an attack that left three people dead and nine others injured, authorities said. 
The dead included one police officer and two civilians, Colorado Springs Police Chief Peter Carey told reporters about an hour after the suspect had been captured. 
  • All nine surviving victims - five police officers and four civilians - were listed in good condition at area hospitals, Carney said. 
The suspect first engaged in a gun battle with police but ultimately surrendered to officers inside the building about five hours after the start of the violence which played out under a steady snowfall in Colorado's second-largest city.
A Reuters photographer at the scene saw a man in a white T-shirt with his hands cuffed behind his back being taken out of 
armored police vehicle and placed 
in an unmarked squad car.
