Shooting in Falcon Colorado

Shooting in Falcon Colorado

On Sunday morning, a shooting occurred in a Falcon neighborhood, sending one person to the hospital and four others into immediate danger. According to a press release from the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office, the crime scene spans over a city block in the Meridian Ranch neighborhood.

The EPCSO also suggested this was likely not a random occurrence. No suspects have been apprehended, but police believe the shooting may be linked to a carjacking that occurred on Saturday in Colorado Springs’s east side. Specifically, west of Mitchell High School, on Potter Drive, which connects two apartment communities. There were no further specifics about the carjacking given.
