Woman dead in east Colorado Springs shooting
A woman died Friday night from an apparent gunshot wound in an eastern Colorado Springs neighborhood, but it’s unclear who pulled the trigger.
There was no danger to the community, police said late Friday night, but the shooting was under investigation and details were not released about what happened inside the home on the 5300 block of Babcock Place, near Palmer Park Boulevard and North Powers Boulevard.
The woman was found dead when police arrived on scene about five minutes after a call was made – at about 7:30 p.m. – regarding a disturbance involving a shooting.
Sgt. Jim Sokolik said late Friday that police believed they had talked to everyone who knew something about what had happened. He was unsure whether anyone witnessed the shooting.
Three children were home at the time the woman was killed. Two children appeared to be sitting inside a police car for some time.
No one else was injured in the shooting.
The neighborhood is no stranger to tragedy. In early April, Corinne Munger, 55, was shot to death by her husband, Bruce, 52, who then shot himself. The Mungers’ home is just a few houses away from the house where the woman was found dead Friday, on the corner of Babcock Road and Babcock Place.
