Arrest made in Colorado Springs shooting that injured 6: Police
A 25-year-old man has been arrested and charged with attempted murder stemming from a shooting that erupted during an argument between multiple individuals and left six people injured late Saturday in Colorado Springs, Colorado, according to police.
The suspect was identified as Deomni Myers, who is charged with attempted first-degree murder in connection with the shooting that unfolded northeast of downtown Colorado Springs, police said in a statement released Monday on social media.
Myers was taken into custody after he turned himself in, according to police.
At least one victim was hospitalized in critical condition, while others injured in the shooting were in stable condition, according to an online statement Sunday from the Colorado Springs Police Department.
The shooting occurred just after 11 p.m. local time on Potter Street in a residential neighborhood, according to police. Several 911 callers reported a "disturbance involving shots fired," according to the police statement.
"When officers arrived on scene, they found several individuals with gunshot wounds," police said.
Four gunshot victims were taken to hospitals by ambulance and two arrived at emergency rooms in personal vehicles, police said.
"At this time, this appears to have started as an argument between multiple people that [led] to shots being fired," the police statement said.
A motive for the shooting remains under investigation and the Colorado Springs Police Department said anyone with information about the incident should contact detectives.
