Colorado Springs – The Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) lifted a shelter‑in‑place order just after 10 p.m. on Tuesday after concluding a shooting investigation near Fillmore Street. Officers were initially dispatched to Wood Avenue after a boy reported that his father had shot his mother in the leg.
Investigation details
When CSPD arrived, officers attempted to gain entry to the residence but were unable to do so. The department later confirmed that no occupants inside the home sustained injuries. After determining that the situation was contained, officers ceased attempts to enter the property and the shelter‑in‑place directive was rescinded.
Public safety response
The shelter‑in‑place order, which had been issued earlier in the evening, was intended to protect nearby residents while officers secured the scene. CSPD emphasized that the precaution was lifted once the threat was assessed and no further danger to the public existed.
What residents need to know
Neighbors in the Fillmore area were advised to remain indoors and keep windows and doors closed while the order was in effect. With the order now lifted, residents can resume normal activities. CSPD reminded the community to report any suspicious activity promptly and to cooperate with law‑enforcement investigations.
Ongoing police work
The department continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding the shooting. While the immediate danger has passed, CSPD is gathering statements and evidence to determine any further legal action. Residents with information are encouraged to contact CSPD’s tip line.
