Three people have been killed after a gunman armed with a rifle stormed a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs and opened fire before an hours-long standoff with police ended when he surrendered.
Two civilians and one police officer died, Colorado Springs police chief Peter Carey told reporters about an hour after the suspect had been arrested.
Another nine people were injured – five police officers and four civilians – but Carey said they were in good condition at area hospitals.
The dead policeman was named as 44-year-old Garrett Swasey, a campus officer for the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs who responded with city police to the first reports of shots fired.
