COP SHOT, SERIOUSLY WOUNDED IN COLORADO SPRINGS; SUSPECT IS SHOT, TOO

UPDATE

A police officer was shot and seriously wounded Monday in Colorado Springs, a police spokeswoman said.

A suspect was also shot and seriously wounded in the incident in a residential neighborhood on East Bijou Street between Balfour and Trump avenues. Officers were investigating a report of a suspicious person when the shooting occurred, the spokeswoman said. The call was received at 1:38 p.m. The two incidents apparently weren't related. Colorado Springs Mayor Yemi Mobolade said he met with the injured office and "prayed with him, and am grateful to share that he is expected to be released from the hospital soon." Monday's shooting is the second in three days involving Colorado Springs police. Officers wounded a knife-wielding woman who reached for a police shotgun in a patrol car on Saturday night. No officers were injured.
