"Numerous" people inside the Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood office have been evacuated, Colorado Springs police said in a 4 p.m. briefing.
However, the scene of Friday's shooting is expected to remain active for hours because of "items that the suspect took with him to the Planned Parenthood building," said Colorado Springs police spokesperson Catherine Buckley.
"This is not a stabilized scene," Buckley said. Shots had been fired "recently," Buckley added.
The situation is currently contained within the Planned Parenthood building where the shooting started, Buckley said. Police have not been "in voice contact" with the suspect, according to Buckley, nor have they confirmed his identity.
Police have not reported any fatalities at this time. Buckley said it is possible that a fifth officer has been injured, but she could not confirm that.
Gov. John Hickenlooper commended the bravery and courage of local law enforcement officers. They "have prevented a dire situation from being far worse, and we are all grateful," he said.
